In our present era of nanoscience and nanotechnology, new materials are poised to take center
stage in dramatically improving friction and wear behavior under extreme conditions. Compiled
by two eminent experts, Self-Organization During Friction: Advanced Surface-Engineered
Materials and systems Design details the latest advances and developments in self-organization
phenomena, physical and chemical aspects of friction, and add new method of friction control
using advanced materials and coatings. Approaching nanomaterials from the perspective of
irreversible thermodynamics and self-organization, this work presents a new approach to
developing an emerging generation of surface-engineered self-adaptive nanostructured
materials. The book demonstrates how nanoscale structure, synergistic alloying, and the
non-equilibrium state of surface-engineered layers affects the capacity of these next-generation
materials to resist wear in heavily loaded tribosystems. These links become clear through
discussions on non-equilibrium thermodynamics, tribological compatibility, and self-organization
phenomena during friction. International experts also supply cutting-edge information on
nanocrystalline and nanolaminated coatings while tracing new trends in materials science and
surface engineering at the nanoscale. By combining detailed discussions on the underlying theory
with practical examples of extreme tribological application-Organization During Friction outlines
a forward-looking strategy for developing and implementing new surface-engineered materials
that promise previously unattainable levels of tribological performance.
