Scope of the conference
Tribology has seen tremendous increase in its applications in many new areas such as micro and nanotechnology, bio-systems, aerospace etc. New types of tribological materials, solid/liquid lubricants and films have been invented for specific applications. Therefore, the aim of this conference is to present and record recent works that have been carried out in the areas such as tribology of materials, new engineered surfaces, application of tribological research and development to new technological and industrial fields, new coatings, novel lubricants.
