AIMS AND SCOPE

The aims of the forum are to discuss the basic mechanisms, applications and future prospects of tribochemistry based on the most recent results of research. All fields concerned with tribochemistry are welcome. Physics studies related to tribochemistry and new advanced surface analytical tools are most welcome!

Presentations of the following topics are being solicited:

Mechanism of tribochemistry
Physics study related to tribochemistry
Static and dynamic in-situ surface analysis
Exoemission phenomena related to tribology
Electrochemistry related to tribochemistry
Tribochemistry in boundary and EHL films
Simulation of tribochemical reaction
Tribo-corrosion
Additive tribochemistry
Materials/coatings related to tribochemistry
Nano-particles/nano-wear/super-lubricity related to tribochemistry
Other aspects of tribochemistry

After presenting the newest information on tribochemistry, animated discussions will be held to deepen the understanding of tribochemistry.
