Surfactants in Tribology, 2 Volume Set

The use of surfactants in tribology is a critical topic for scientists and engineers who are developing new materials and devices, in particular those built at the nanoscale. Edited by well-known and respected leaders in the field, this two-volume set builds upon the success of the original volume with additional developments. Featuring renowned international contributors, it examines how films, membranes, and self-assembled monologues are relevant to tribological behavior, explores how emulsions and aqueous systems relate to tribological phenomenon, reviews bio-based lubricants, and covers applications in these areas.

Surfactants play a critical role in tribology as they control friction, wear, and lubricant properties such as emulsification, demulsification, bioresistance, oxidation resistance, rust prevention, and corrosion resistance. The use of surfactants in tribology is a critical topic for scientists and engineers who are developing new materials and devices, in particular those built at the nanoscale. Edited by a well-known and respected leader in the field, this two-volume set features renowned international contributors who review the latest advances in the tribological aspects of microdevices and nanodevices, including MEMS, NEMS, biosurfactants, biolubricants, and bioemulsions.
