Scholar-generated biography
Janet S S Wong is a researcher whose work focuses on the tribological behavior of polymers and lubrication mechanisms. Her research explores the influence of surface properties on friction and sliding contact temperature, particularly in polyetheretherketone (PEEK). She investigates the adsorption and interactions of organic friction modifier additives, as well as the mechanochemistry of additives like zinc dialkyldithiophosphate under elastohydrodynamic lubrication conditions. Her studies also examine polymer surface diffusion, protein interactions in synovial fluid lubrication, and the role of ionic liquids in mixed and elastohydrodynamic lubrication. Wong's work addresses the effects of temperature, load, and sliding speed on tribological performance, with applications in biomedical and industrial lubrication systems.
