Preface
In the recent years, ecotribology (or environmentally friendly tribology) has gained increasing importance in green science and engineering. It is current report ecotribology or green tribology, as environmentally acceptable tribological practices, namely savings of resources of energy and materials, optimizing product usage and design, reducing energy consumption and the impact on the environment. Today, it is normal to include several topics under the umbrella of ecotribology, namely biomimetics surfaces, control of friction and wear, biolubricants, environmental aspects of lubrication and surface modification techniques as well as tribological aspects of green applications, such as wind-power turbines, or solar panels. The purpose of this book is to present a collection of examples illustrating review studies and research in ecotribology. Chapter 1 of the book provides ecotribology development, prospects, and challenges. Chapter 2 is dedicated to advancements in ecofriendly lubricants for tribological applications (past, present, and future). Chapter 3 describes new emerging self-lubr
