Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Lubrication Science focuses on the tribological behavior of materials and systems under various lubrication conditions. Research investigates the impact of surface textures, additives, and coatings on friction and wear, particularly in applications like internal combustion engines, gears, bearings, and wheel-rail interfaces. The journal also explores the development of advanced lubricants, including nanoparticle-enhanced oils, supramolecular gels, and bio-based formulations, as well as the modeling and simulation of lubrication phenomena.
