Dr. László Zsidai's main research areas revolve around Tribology, with a focus on examining the sliding and wear characteristics of polymer-metal dry friction systems through laboratory small-scale model testing. This includes exploring surface morphology, surface energy, and frictional heat. The goal is to identify optimal operating conditions in frictional applications for existing materials and emerging material developments. Additionally, he is involved in Additive Technologies, investigating anisotropic material structures created via 3D printing. The research looks into the effects of printing orientation, infill and layering, as well as exploring new material developments such as composites.
