Publisher's Synopsis
Provides an authoritative overview of the surface chemistry and tribological properties of organic films, coatings, and solid lubricants. Looks at techniques traditionally used by surface scientists rather than mechanical engineers. Offers novel and theoretical approaches to studying friction, wear, tribochemistry, lubrication at the molecular level, and lubricant-surface interaction. Leading scientists from industry, government, and academia offer an interdisciplinary approach that will appeal to tribologists, chemical and mechanical engineers, materials and surface scientists, and physicists.
