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 \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-11-09\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401063814\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-5646-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 676\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358990069900,"sku":"9789401063814","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401063814.jpg?v=1771511941","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401063814","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
