2020年1月10日，曼彻斯特城市大学Tomasz Liskiewicz教授为公司师生做了题为“Good and evil of tribological engineering surfaces”的学术报告。本次报告由开云Kaiyun副教授魏东博老师主持，50余位师生聆听了本次报告。
在本次报告中，Tomasz Liskiewicz教授首先通过Leonardo da Vinci对摩擦的第一个系统研究解释了摩擦学对全球经济的影响；并结合一些摩擦学研究实例，介绍了微动磨损的基本原理。他解释了表面工程如何通过提供智能功能表面在未来的摩擦学技术中发挥关键作用。最后，他介绍了在第四次工业革命的背景下摩擦学和表面工程学的未来发展趋势。

报告摘要：Wolfgang Pauli said that surfaces have to be the work of evil due to their complexity and challenges in understanding their underlying properties. Study of surfaces is even more challenging in the context of tribology, which is the science and technology of interacting surfaces in relative motion. Tribology is an exciting and highly interdisciplinary field, linked with engineering, physics, chemistry, materials science, mathematics and biology. It encompasses the study and application of friction, wear, lubrication and related surface design aspects.
During this lecture, Professor Tomasz Liskiewicz will explain the impact of tribology on global economy, and relate to the first systematic study of friction by Leonardo da Vinci. Tomasz will present several examples of his tribological research related to the fundamental understanding of fretting wear phenomenon. He will explain how surface engineering plays a key role in enabling future tribological technologies by providing smart functional surfaces with advanced properties. Finally, he will present the future trends of tribology and surface engineering in the context of the fourth industrial revolution.
