About The Book:

Micro- and Nanoscale Phenomena in Tribology by Yip-Wah Chung delves into the rapidly growing field of tribology at the micro and nanoscale, drawing from presentations at a National Science Foundation Summer Institute. This 222-page paperback, published by CRC Press, provides an in-depth exploration of the interdisciplinary nature of tribology, encompassing materials science, mechanical engineering, surface physics, chemistry, and computation.

The book covers fundamental and advanced topics in tribology, from basic continuum treatments of interfacial contact and lubrication to novel advances in contact simulation. It explores friction measurements at the nanoscale, the impact of micro- and nanotextured surfaces on adhesion and friction, and the significance of surface chemistry and molecular dynamics simulation.

Each chapter, contributed by leading experts in their fields, presents cutting-edge developments in micro and nanoscale phenomena, providing the reader with an up-to-date understanding of tribology and its applications in engineering and biological systems. With numerous examples, figures, and extensive references, this book is an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and professionals involved in tribology and materials science.
