Summary:

Superlubricity - the state between sliding systems where friction is reduced to almost immeasurable amounts - holds great potential for improving both the economic and environmental credentials of moving mechanical systems. Research in this field has progressed tremendously in recent years, and there now exist several theoretical models, recognised techniques for computational simulations and interesting experimental evidence of superlubricity in practise.Superlubricity, Second Edition, presents an extensively revised and updated overview of these important developments, providing a comprehensive guide to the physical chemistry underpinning molecular mechanisms of friction and lubrication, current theoretical models used to explore and assess superlubricity, examples of its achievement in experimental systems, and discussion of potential future applications.Drawing on the extensive knowledge of its expert editors and global team of authors from across academia and industry, Superlubricity, Second Edition, is a great resource for all those with a need to understand, model or manipulate surface interactions for improved performance.- Fully expanded and updated to include the latest developments in the field, including a new section on liquid superlubricity- Highlights the key superlubricity theoretical models and reviews state of the art tools and techniques for superlubricity simulation- Includes information on the practical aspects and potential impact of superlubricity in moving mechanical systems ranging from nano/micro scales to meso/macro scales

Contents:

I. Introduction II. Theoretical aspects of superlubricity III. Evidencing superlubricity at atomic-to-nanoscales (experiments and simulations) IV. Superlubricty of lamellar solids (i.e., MeS2, graphite, coatings etc.) and other 2D materials V. Superlubricity of carbon-based coatings (H-mediated superlubricity) VI. Approaching superlubricity under liquid conditions and boundary lubrication VII. Other systems where superlubricity has been observed or achieved
