BRAND NEW JOURNAL FOR 2007
Tribology - Materials, Surfaces & Interfaces is a new journal published jointly by Maney Publishing and the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining.
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 will be at the forefront of this growing area and aims to meet the needs of both academia and industry.
Areas of focus
- Tribocorrosion
- Lubricant additives - tribochemistry, tribophysics and tribofilm characterisation
- Surface analysis - in-situ and ex-situ analysis of tribological processes
- Biotribology - including biotribocorrosion and processes at biological implant interfaces
- Nanoscale tribology - understanding surface processes and reactions on the nanoscale
- Surface and coatings technology - surface and interface engineering to improve tribological performance
- Lubrication challenges in the boundary and mixed lubrication regimes - environmental legislation, fuel economy and novel additive systems
- Manufacturing processes - e.g. chemo-mechanical polishing
- Molecular tribology - understanding molecular arrangement, changes of configuration and functionality at tribological interfaces.
