Lubricant Technology

Fundamentals and Applications

About this book

In the rapidly evolving world of mechanical systems, lubricants play a critical role in minimizing friction, reducing wear, and improving energy efficiency. Lubricant Technology: Fundamentals and Applications delves into the multifaceted science of lubrication, bridging the gap between foundational principles and cutting-edge innovations.

Written by leading experts, this comprehensive volume explores:

  • The fundamentals of friction, wear, and lubrication.
  • The chemistry and properties of base oils and advanced lubricants.
  • Revolutionary bio-lubricants, nanolubricants, and ionic liquid additives.
  • Emerging trends such as superlubricity and smart lubricants.
  • Sustainable practices in used-oil disposal and future industry directions.

With detailed studies, practical insights, and research-backed discussions, this book is an indispensable resource for senior undergraduate, graduate students, and academic researchers in fields including mechanical engineering, industrial and production engineering, manufacturing engineering, and materials science.

Whether you're exploring the basics of lubricant formulation or investigating advanced applications, Lubricant Technology: Fundamentals and Applications provides the knowledge you need to drive innovation and sustainability in lubrication science.
