This book presents resent research advances in the area of eco-triobology. In the last years
eco-tribology or environmentally friendly tribology has gained increasing importance in
sustainable engineering. Environmentally acceptable tribological practices save resources by
optimizing product usage and reducing energy. This book covers current developments in all
areas covered by the term eco-tribology including biomimetics surfaces control of friction
and wear environmental aspects of lubrication and surface modification techniques as well as
tribological aspects of green applications such wind-power turbines or solar panels.
