Mr. Pavlidis spent four weeks at the RheoLab of the University of Huelva during his Master's thesis. There, he conducted various experiments under Prof. Delgado to perform theological and tribological characterizations.

Prof. Kuhn  spoke about the organisation of energy dissipation in friction-stressed systems at the 65th annual conference of the GfT.

Around 80 presentations were given at the conference.

Congratulations Dr. Leif Ahme

supervisor: Prof. Dr. Miguel Delgado (Universität Huelva)

Prof. Kuhn presented new reasearch results on energy dissipation in lubricating greases films

Prof. Kuhn after his lecture on the energy dissipation rate in greases. Here in conversation with Prof. Kröger (TU Freiberg) and Dr. Dr. Gunst (ATN Münster). 

Prof. Kuhn is together with Prof Delgado from the University of Huelva guest editor in the open accessoire journal PROCESSES. A special issue on the topic of sustainable grease development is being edited.
Prof. Kuhn is guest editor in an international journal for the fourth time.

The world congress in Lyon was really a huge scientific conference at a nice place. Two grease sessions were organized with different topics related to lubricating greases.

Prof. Kuhn presented his investigation of thixotropic phenomenon by using the entropy concept. He chaired one oif the greases session.

At 21st of June Mrs. Nazli Acar defended her PhD-thesis. Congratulations !!

All the best for the future Mrs. Dr.Nazli Acar

After 3 months María Borrego Algarra, M.Sc. will leave our university to do a PhD in Huelva. It was a good time discussing various rheological and tribological issues. We had a lot of fun working together and wish you all the best for the future.

Initiated by Prof.  Miguel.A. Delgado from Uni Huelva.

During the Master course Lubrication Technology at University of Huelva and during the Master course Tribology at Hamburg University of Appl. Sc. we organized two lecture days  together. First topic was Rheology (fundamentals and grease rheology by Prof. Delgado) and second was Tribology (basics and grease tribology by Prof. Kuhn).

Afterwards, the students had to work together on assignments from given papers. Divided in three groups mixed of Spanisch and German students, they presented a number of slides with the jointly developed solution.

It was really a nice experience for teachers and students and a great academic  cooperation between to european universities.

Auf der 7. Europäischen Tribologie Konferenz in Wien 2019 (ECOTRIB) erhielt unsere Doktorandin Frau Nazli Acar den Best Poster Award (hier die Verleihung an der HAW Hamburg). Auf dem Poster stellt Sie Ergebnisse ihrer wissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen an komplett biogenen Schmierstoffproben vor.

PhD-Student Leif Ahme  works about the degradation process of lubricating greases. His work is focused on the change of the grease structure.
