Surfactants play a variety of critical roles in tribology. In
addition to controlling friction and wear, they also allow for
control of a wide range of properties of lubricants, such as
emulsification/demulsification, bioresistance, oxidation
resistance, and rust/corrosion prevention. This book explains
recent advances in the role of surfactants within the purview of
tribology, with an emphasis on product development. Includes
Theoretical, Experimental, and Technological Advances Providing a
unique exploration of the nexus between surfactants and tribology,
this text represents the cumulative expertise of leading scientists
and technologists engaged in the study of surfactants in variegated
tribological phenomena. Organized thematically for easy reference,
the volume covers- * Fundamentals of surfactants * Tribological
aspects of micro- and nanodevices, including micro-patterns of
two-dimensional asperity arrays, MEMS, NEMS, and magnetic recording
devices * Self-assembled monolayers and ultra-thin films relevant
to tribological phenomena, including aspects of organosilane
monolayers, ultrathin self-assembled films, super-hydrophobic
films, MoDTC/ZDDP tribofilms, and surfactant-coated copper
nanoparticles * Polymeric and biobased surfactants, covering
various tribological aspects related to polymeric gels, elastomers
sliding against hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces,
agriculture-based amphiphiles, vegetable oils, and biobased greases
* Surfactant adsorption and aggregation relevant to tribological
phenomena, such as the design of surfactants for lubrication,
aqueous non-ionic surfactant-based lubricants, adsorption and
aggregation kinetics, surfactant and polymer nanostructures, a
