Published by Sage from 2024.

Tribology, by its very nature, has always been dominated by how surfaces react to load, relative motion and chemical/physical reactions. With the increased sophistication of surface analytical tools and their increasing application in tribology, a very good understanding of the nature of tribochemical, tribophysical and tribocorrosion reactions is emerging. Tribology — Materials, Surfaces & Interfaces is at the forefront of this growing area and aims to meet the needs of both academia and industry. Contributions involving experimental approaches and/or modelling which advance the current understanding of tribology will be welcome. The scope includes:

Areas of focus:

• Functional coatings and surfaces
• Lubrication technology
• Tribocorrosion
• Tribofilm characterisation
• Surface analysis
• Biotribology
• Nanoscale tribology
• Extreme environment tribology
