This comprehensive work was written by an international team of experts and discusses the achievements as well as future potential of tribology. It is expected that the primary technological advancements in the 21st century will address environmental and energy concerns, health care, precision, reliability, and miniaturization. Tribology will play an important role in many of these advancements. This volume covers various types of lubricants and their applications, including engines, gears, and the manufacturing process, artificial joints, biodegradable oils, carbon films, ceramics, polymers and composites, thermal factors, micro and nanotribology, condition monitoring, surface analysis, creating a virtual tribology institute and teaching tribology. This book is a valuable resource for industry professionals as well as academics and researchers in the field.

This book covers the area of tribology broadly, providing important introductory chapters to fundamentals, processing, and applications of tribology. The book is designed primarily for easy and cohesive understanding for students and practicing scientists pursuing the area of tribology with focus on materials. This book helps students and practicing scientists alike understand that a comprehensive knowledge about the friction and wear properties of advanced materials is essential to further design and development of new materials. The description of the wear micromechanisms of various materials will provide a strong background to the readers as how to design and develop new tribological materials. This book also places importance on the development of new ceramic composites in the context of tribological applications. The various sections of the book discuss fundamentals of nature and properties of materials, friction and wear of structural ceramics, bioceramics, biocomposites, and nanoceramics, as well as lightweight composites and friction and wear of ceramics in a cryogenic environment. Some of the key features of the book include: Fundamentals section highlights the salient issues of ceramic processing and mechanical properties of important oxide and non-oxide ceramic systems; State of the art research findings on important ceramic composites are included and an understanding on the behavior of silicon carbide (SiC) based ceramic composites in dry sliding wear conditions is presented as a case study; Erosion wear behavior of ceramics, in which case studies on high temperature erosion behavior of SiC based composites and zirconium diboride (ZrB2) based composites is also covered; Wear behavior of ceramic coatings is rarely discussed in any tribology related books therefore a case study explaining the abrasion wear behavior of WC-Co coating is provided. Finally an appendix chapter is included in which a collection of several types of questions including multiple choice, short answer and long answer ae provided.
