Tribology

Tribology is the essential science of all interacting surfaces in relative motion. Tribology affects our lives in many direct ways and is core to future transport and energy efficient machines, the control of emissions and low maintenance renewable energy systems, to the efficacy and performance of joint implants, and the operation of mircoelectromechanical devices. This volume will focus on advanced computational and experimental tribology combining multiscale modelling, analytical and experimental techniques to develop a better understanding of tribological processes at the molecular, micro and nano scales and theuse of this understanding to link this to micro-system performance as well aspredictive models concerned with macro contact. The aim of this Discussion isto bring together advances in these diverse aspects, all of which bear directly on the topic of tribology, by providing a forum for discussion between chemists, physicists, theoreticians, engineers and biomedical researchers.
