Agnieszka Tomala

Agnieszka Tomala (Bogus) is ESR in TUW. Her work is focused on nanotribological properties of the materials coated with hard coatings or adsorbed monoolayers of lubricant additives. Frictional properties under nanonewton load and nanowear tests are done using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). She is investigating the chemical structure of the monomolecular films using X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) techniques, trying to understand how the functional groups of additives influence tribological properties.
