Abstract Tribology is the science and technology of interacting solid surfaces in relative motion. The word tribology is based upon the Greek word tribos, meaning rubbing. The topics covered by this word are in the main ancient and well-known and include the study of lubricants, lubrication, friction, wear, and bearings. Since surface interactions dictate or control the functioning of practically every device developed by man to enhance the quality of life, tribology has been of central importance for thousands of years, even if this has not always been generally recognized.
