The reach of tribology has expanded in diverse fields and tribology related research
activities have seen immense growth during the last decade. This review takes stock of the …

Calculations of the impact of friction and wear on energy consumption, economic
expenditure, and CO 2 emissions are presented on a global scale. This impact study covers …

Superlubricity, the state of ultralow friction between two sliding surfaces, has become a
frontier subject in tribology. Here, a state-of-the-art review of the phenomena and …

Superlubricity has been developing very rapidly in recent years as a new and important area
in tribology. Many new phenomena and materials, as well as some new mechanisms in both …

The hydration lubrication paradigm, whereby hydration layers are both strongly held by the
charges they surround, and so can support large pressures without being squeezed out, and …

Superior wet attachment and friction performance without the need of special external or
preloaded normal force, similar to the tree frog's toe pad, is highly essential for biomedical …

This work studies the tribological properties of liquid paraffin to which diamond and SiO2
nanoparticles, which were prepared by the surface modification method using oleic acid …

Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication (EHL) is commonly known as a mode of fluid-film
lubrication in which the mechanism of hydrodynamic film formation is enhanced by surface …

This book draws upon the science of tribology to understand, predict and improve abrasive
machining processes. Pulling together information on how abrasives work, the authors, who …

Frictional sliding between patterned surfaces is of fundamental and practical importance in
the haptic engineering of soft materials. In emerging applications such as remote surgery …
