As a field it is truly interdisciplinary, but this confronts the would-be entrant with the difficulty of becoming familiar with the basic theories and applications: the area is not covered in any undergraduate or graduate scientific curriculum. \u003cbr\u003e The present work commences with a history of tribology and micro\/nanotribology, followed by discussions of instrumentation, basic theories of friction, wear and lubrication on nano- to microscales, and their industrial applications. A variety of research instruments are covered, including a variety of scanning probe microscopes and surface force apparatus. Experimental research and modelling are expertly dealt with, the emphasis throughout being applied aspects.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45285034885271,"sku":"9780792343868","price":14690.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780792343868.webp?v=1769282948","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/micro-nanotribology-and-its-applications-9780792343868","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
