This journal publishes research on friction and wear across various materials and conditions. Studies investigate mechanisms of friction, including dry friction, lubrication, and interfacial friction, often employing advanced simulation techniques and experimental methods. The scope also encompasses the development and characterization of advanced coatings and composite materials designed to enhance tribological performance, reduce wear, and improve durability in diverse applications.
