Opis

This third volume in the series reflects the latest developments, highlighting the relevance of surfactants in tribological phenomena in a broad range of industries, including cutting-edge areas in micro- and nanodevices. Volume 3 comprises 19 chapters on various aspects of surfactants in tribology presented in four parts: Nanotribology and Polymeric Systems, Biobased and Environmentally Friendly Lubricants and Additives, Tribological Properties of Aqueous and Nonaqueous Systems, and Advanced Tribological Concepts. It provides an up-to-date reference that includes subjects not covered in previous volumes.

O autorze

Girma Biresaw received a Ph.D. in physical-organic chemistry from the University of California, Davis. He is currently at the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Peoria, Illinois, where he conducts research in tribology, adhesion, and surface/colloid science in support of programs aimed at developing biobased products from farm-based raw materials. Dr. Biresaw has received more than 150 national and international invitations including requests to participate in and/or conduct training, workshops, advisory, and consulting activities. He is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Biobased Materials and Bioenergy and has authored/coauthored more than 235 invited and contributed scientific publications, including more than 65 peer-reviewed articles, 6 patents, 4 edited books, more than 35 proceedings and book chapters, and more than 125 scientific abstracts.

Kashmiri Lal Mittal received a Ph.D. from the University of Southern California. He is currently teaching and consulting worldwide in the areas of adhesion and surface cleaning. Dr. Mittal is the editor of 106 published books, as well as others that are in the process of publication, within the realms of surface and colloid science and of adhesion. He has received many awards and honors and is listed in many biographical reference works. He was a founding editor of the Journal of Adhesion Science and Technology and was its editor-in-chief until April 2012. In 2002, Dr. Mittal was honored by the global surfactant community, which instituted the Kash Mittal Award in the surfactant field in his honor. In 2003, he was honored by the Maria Curie-Sklodowska University, Lublin, Poland, which awarded him the title of doctor honoris causa. More recently, he has started the new journal titled Reviews of Adhesion and Adhesives.
