Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Material surfaces are rough at all magnifications, ranging from atomistic to macroscopic scales. As a result, tribological phenomena including contact, friction, lubrication, and wear emerge from a wide range of chemical and physical processes at disparate length scales. The development of advanced experimental and computational techniques over past years has enabled the investigation of tribological phenomena at nanometer, micrometer, as well as macroscopic wavelengths.
This Special Issue is aimed at further improving our understanding of the intertwined multiscale nature of tribological phenomena, both in the modeling and experimental domains. This includes the breakdown of continuum theories at the nano-and microscales, multiscale features for experiments, as well as analytical and computational models, relevant to applications spanning a variety of sectors, from automotive to biotribology and nanotechnology.

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.
