Tribology is the science of rubbing surfaces and contributes to every facet Editor
of our everyday life, from live cell friction to engine lubrication and
seismology. As such tribology is truly multidisciplinary and this extraor- Philippa Cann
dinary breadth of scientific interest is reflected in the scope of Tribology Tribology Group
International. Department of Mechanical Engineering,
Tribology International seeks to publish original and novel research Imperial College London,
papers of the highest scientific quality to provide an archival resource SW7 2AZ,
for scientists from all backgrounds. Written contributions are invited UK
reporting experimental and modelling studies both in established areas
of tribology and emerging fields. Scientific topics include the physics
or chemistry of tribo-surfaces, bio-tribology, surface engineering and
materials, contact mechanics, nano-tribology, lubricants and hydro-
dynamic lubrication.
