Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gas has distinct advantages as a clean lubricant in the applications of load bearing and sealing in high-speed and high-precision machinery. Due to its low viscosity, aerodynamic and aerostatic lubrication can overcome the DN value limit, compared with rolling and liquid bearings, without producing much frictional heat and power consumption. However, low viscosity also leads to insufficient load capacity and viscous damping, and some significant scientific and technical problems have also emerged following the demand for more extreme and special applications. Hybrid lubrication and interdisciplinary problems can also generate interesting topics in this research field.
This Special Issue aims to promote original research articles and review papers with topics related to state-of-the-art theoretical and experimental research on gas lubrication and dry gas seal.

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. Lubricants is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
