ESR Technology is proud to share that at our ESTL (European Space Tribology Laboratory) experts have contributed, along with ESA, Materials GmbH and Kompetenzzentrum Tribologie Mannheim, to the recently published article in Scientific Reports:
“Development of novel lubricant formulation for cleanroom and vacuum application”
Read the full article here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-97285-9
This study addresses the unique challenges of lubrication in contamination-sensitive environments such as cleanrooms and vacuum systems, which are critical in industries like semiconductor manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and aerospace.
Key highlights of the research include:
- Understanding the impact of vacuum and cleanroom conditions on lubricant performance.
- Developing a comprehensive methodology for lubricant formulation tailored to contamination-sensitive applications.
- Implementing rigorous validation and qualification methods to ensure compliance with industry standards.
For those interested in the intersection of materials science and high-tech industrial applications, this publication offers valuable insights into the development of specialised lubricants for critical environments.
