Summary:

Chung (materials science and engineering, Northwestern U.) presents a monograph reviewing the interdisciplinary topic of micro- and nano-scale phenomena in tribology, the study of interacting surfaces in relative motion. Eight chapters discuss the range of contact conditions between macroscale and nanoscale contacts; fundamental continuum treatments of interfacial contact and lubrication under a wide range of conditions, the nature of surface energies and forces in nanoscale structures, adhesion in dry and wet environments, friction measurement and interpretation at the nanoscale, experimental techniques for fabricating micro- and nanotextured surfaces, the role of surface chemistry in tribological interfaces, and molecular dynamics simulation.
