Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Current industry trends are moving at high speed, with high precision and sustainable use to develop new products. Problems regarding the friction surface between two components, including movement, wear, and lubrication, are facing increasingly difficult research problems and challenges. The aim of ICETAT 2020 is to gather scholars from all over the world to present advances in the aforementioned fields and to foster an environment conducive to exchanging ideas and information. ICETAT 2020 will provide a platform to assemble researchers, practitioners, and academics to present and discuss ideas, challenges, and potential solutions on established or emerging topics relating to research and practice in engineering tribology such as high speed, high precision, energy conservation, sustainable use, advanced design, industrial tribology, and application issues.
This Special Issue will select excellent papers from ICETAT 2020. Original research and review articles are welcome in this Special Issue. Potential topics include:
- Basic friction and wear;
- Lubricants and lubrication;
- Contact mechanics and adhesion;
- Surface engineering and coating;
- Material analysis and examination;
- Tribology in machine elements;
- Tribo-chemistry and tribo-corrosion;
- Biotribology;
- Green tribology and sustainability;
- Micro- and nano-tribology;
- Manufacturing technology;
- Analysis and diagnosis of tribology system.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
