Surfactants play a critical role in tribology, as they help control friction and wear, while also controlling lubricant properties such as emulsification, demulsification, bioresistance, oxidation resistance, rust prevention, and corrosion resistance. This unique work brings together recent advances in the use of surfactants. Edited by leading pioneers in the field, with chapters written by international experts, it addresses theoretical, technical, and experimental aspects. It considers the role of surfactants in SAMs, MEMS, NEMS, manufacturing, automotive, rail, light and heavy machinery, and biomedical applications. This work will be of special interest to those interested in gaining an understanding of surfactants in tribology at the nanoscale.

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.
