| 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.
Superlubricity 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.
Audience
With both the scientific and industrial appeal, this book is for scientists,
engineers, and other professionals in the field.
