Tribology is usually defined as the science and technology of interacting surfaces in relative
motion. It includes the research and application of principles of friction wear lubrication
and design. Green tribology involves tribological aspects of environmental and biological
impacts. This multidisciplinary field of science and technology is very important for the
development of new products in mechanics materials chemistry life sciences and by extension
for all modern industry. The current volume aims to provide recent information on progress in
green tribology. Chapter 1 provides information on tribological materials (an eco-sustainable
perspective) while chapter 2 is dedicated to preparation and tribology performance of
bio-based ceramic particles from rice waste and chapter 3 describes tribological behavior and
tribochemistry of Ti3SiC2 in water and alcohols. Chapter 4 contains information on modelling
and analysis of the oil-film pressure of a hydrodynamic journal bearing lubricated by nano
based bio-lubricants using a D-optimal design. Finally chapter 5 is dedicated to wear
performance of oil palm seed fibre reinforced polyester composite aged in brake fluid
solutions. The current volume can be used as a research book for final undergraduate in
engineering courses or as a topic on green tribology at postgraduate level. This book can also
serve as useful reference for academics researchers mechanical materials environmental and
manufacturing engineers professionals green tribology and related industries.
