This second volume of a renowned series explores all-new topics critical to the future of tribology. Topics discussed include properties of silane, thio, phthalocyanine and phospholipid films, membranes, grafts, and SAMs on gold, silica, and graphite substrates; water/oil emulsions used as oil well-drilling fluids; properties of organized surfactant assemblies and aqueous solutions of alkyl polyglucosides; surfactants as demulsifiers in enhanced crude oil production from old wells; the fundamentals of surface chemistry at tribological interfaces; the role of surface science in magnetic recording tribology; antiwear and friction modifier compounds for automotive applications; surfactants as antimicrobial agents in lubricants; and biosurfactants, biolubricants, and bioemulsions.
