This book brings together recent developments in the areas of MEMS
tribology, novel lubricants and coatings for nanotechnological
applications, biomimetics in tribology and fundamentals of
micro/nano-tribology. Tribology plays important roles in the
functioning and durability of machines at small length scales
because of the problems associated with strong surface adhesion,
friction, wear etc. Recently, a number of studies have been
conducted to understand tribological phenomena at nano/micro scales
and many new tribological solutions for MEMS have been proposed.

This handbook is a collection of authoritative information in the
new and expanding field of polymer tribology. It brings together
various research topics in the field of polymer tribology in a
single volume, and provides relevant data in polymer tribology for
research and industrial applications.The book's chapters are
written by active, world-renowned researchers in the field.
Subjects covered in this book range from the fundamentals of
polymer tribology to highly applied topics such as machine element
design (bearing and gears), hip prosthetic and microsystems
applications.Readers in the field of tribology, in general, and
polymer tribology, in particular, will find it very useful as it
covers nearly all aspects of polymer tribology. Academics creating
new courses based on polymer tribology will also find this book's
comprehensive coverage valuable. Researchers will find this book a
ready source of the state-of-the-art in the field of polymer
tribology.
This book deals with the new and now-expanding field of friction,
wear, and other surface-related mechanical phenomena for polymers.
Polymers have been used in various forms such as bulk, films, and
composites in applications where their friction, wear resistance,
and other surface-related properties have been effectively
utilized. There are also many examples in which polymers have
performed extremely well, such as in tyres, shoes, brakes, gears,
bearings, small moving parts in electronics and MEMS,
cosmetics/hair products, and artificial human joints. Around the
world, much research is currently being undertaken to develop new
polymers, in different forms, for further enhancing tribological
performance and for finding novel applications. Keeping in view the
importance of tribology of polymers for research and technology as
well as the vast literature that is now available in research
papers and review articles, this timely book brings together a
wealth of research data for an understanding of the basic
principles of the subject.
