SUPERLUBRICITY IS DEFINED AS A SLIDING REGIME IN WHICH FRICTION OR RESISTANCE TO SLIDING VANISHES. IT HAS BEEN SHOWN THAT ENERGY CAN BE CONSERVED BY FURTHER REDUCING/REMOVING FRICTION IN MOVING MECHANICAL SYSTEMS AND THIS BOOK INCLUDES CONTRIBUTIONS FROM WORLD-RENOWNED SCIENTISTS WHO ADDRESS SOME OF THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH ISSUES IN OVERCOMING FRICTION. <B>SUPERLUBRICITY</B> REVIEWS THE LATEST METHODS AND MATERIALS IN THIS AREA OF RESEARCH THAT ARE AIMED AT REMOVING FRICTION IN NANO-TO-MICRO SCALE MACHINES AND LARGE SCALE ENGINEERING COMPONENTS. INSIGHT IS ALSO GIVEN INTO THE ATOMIC-SCALE ORIGINS OF FRICTION IN GENERAL AND SUPERLUBRICITY WHILE OTHER CHAPTERS FOCUS ON EXPERIMENTAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS OR IMPACTS OF SUPERLUBRICITY THAT WILL BE VERY USEFUL FOR BROADER INDUSTRIAL COMMUNITY. <BR><BR>* REVIEWS THE LATEST FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH IN SUPERLUBRICITY TODAY<BR>* PRESENTS 'STATE-OF-THE-ART' METHODS, MATERIALS, AND EXPERIMENTAL TECHNIQUES<BR>* LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN TRIBOMATERIALS, COATINGS, AND LUBRICANTS PROVIDING SUPERLUBRICITY <B>SECTION HEADINGS</B><BR>THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF SUPERLUBRICITY <BR>EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON SUPERLUBRICITY AT NANOSCALE <BR>SUPERLUBRICITY OF LAMELLAR SOLIDS <BR>SUPERLUBRICITY OF CARBON-BASED COATINGS <BR>SUPERLUBRICITY UNDER BOUNDARY AND EHD LUBRICATION | INGENIERIA / TECNOLOGIA | | INGENIERIA ELECTRONICA | | QUIMICA |
