26–30 June 2017, Trieste, Italy
Trends in Nanotribology 2017 (TiN17)
The physics of tribology—a vast interdisciplinary field covering friction, adhesion, lubrication, and wear-- has been largely revived by experimental, theoretical, and technological advances that approach these phenomena at the microscopic scales. This International Conference will bring together scientists from laboratories all over the world that are active in nano and meso-scale tribology and will offer a fresh view of all new developments. In parallel with more academic subjects, this activity intends to increase the potential collaboration and sharing of know-how with the engineering and industrial community. The Conference will also mark the conclusion for the COST Action MP1303 “Understanding and controlling nano and meso-scale friction” supported by the EU Framework Programme Horizon 2020, with the added opportunity to gather a large fraction of Europe's scientists and students. Support is also provided by ERC MODPHYSFRICT and SISSA, Trieste, by the Physics Department, University of Milano, by AC2T, Excellence Centre of Tribology, and by the Austrian Tribological Society OeTG, both in Wiener Neustadt, Austria. This rich and diversified attendance will offer a strategic opportunity to discuss the future directions of this whole area.
