“…Recently, as a potential remedy to resolve this issue, graphene (Gr) in the form of a thin layer (i.e., Gr coating) has received extensive attention due to its desirable combination of mechanical robustness, thermal conductivity, and tribological properties [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. According to the results, Gr coated on various substrates, including polymers [ 10 , 11 ], aluminum alloys [ 12 ], and steels [ 4 , 13 , 14 ], can effectively improve their frictional and wear resistance properties. In addition, there are several factors affecting the improvement of both properties, such as Gr film thickness [ 15 ], structural defects of Gr [ 9 ], surface chemistry of Gr [ 16 , 17 ], and substrate properties [ 18 ].…”
