Impact of Advanced Tribological Technologies on Modern Industry
Tribology is a multi-disciplinary subject dealing with the study of interacting surfaces in relative motion. Over the years, Tribology has been recognized as a very important aspect in all industrial operations. The application of correct tribological practices can protect and enhance the life of plants and machinery, improves efficiency of operations, reduce energy consumption and prevent expensive breakdowns.
Therefore, the aim of this special issue titled, “Impact of Tribology on Society” is to bring together leading industrialists, engineers, academicians, scientists, researchers, research scholars and students to exchange and share their experiences and research results covering broad spectrum of topics related to Tribology. It also provides an opportunity to the participants to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, practical challenges encountered and the solutions adopted in the field of Friction and Wear to cater for the needs of the ever growing technological world.
The unique feature of this special issue is to highlight impact of tribology with new tribological approaches. Such approaches are necessary for overall wellbeing of human life and for growth of economy.
Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
Surface Modifications for Tribological Solutions
Sustainable Lubrication, Nano lubricants, Additives and Green lubricationBio-Tribology, Wear in Artificial joints and Tribocorrosion of Biomaterials
