Traditional lubricants contain additives containing sulphur and phosphorus, which contribute to environmental pollution and can also have harmful effects on human health. These additives usually need high temperatures to be effectiveand this tends to pose a severe problem especially when starting machinery when cold. Nanolubrication offers a solution to this problem. Nanolubricants describes a new concept of lubrication based on nanoparticles, detailing the manyadvantages and potential applications of nanotechnology in the tribological field. The book offers a full review of the state-of-the-art as well as much original research heretofore unavailable in book form.
