Scope
Tribology 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. From an engineering perspective, numerous situations where tribological processes occur alongside other physical, chemical or electrochemical processes. To understand how the entire system of interfacial reactions occurs requires studies which integrate all processes. Tribological processes can lead to increased activation of the chemical reactivity, electrochemical response, or can induce electron exchange processes. Tribochemistry, tribocorrosion and tribophysics will be central themes in the journal. Contributions involving experimental approaches and/or modelling which advance the current understanding of the above processes will be welcome. Areas of focus: • Tribocorrosion • Lubricant additives • Surface analysis — in-situ and ex-situ analysis of tribological processes • Biotribology — including biotribocorrosion and processes at biological implant interfaces • Nanoscale tribology • Surface and coatings technology • 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.
