Typical tribological studies cover friction, wear, lubrication and adhesion, and involve the efforts of mechanical engineers, material scientists, chemists and physicists. Since a strong need for tribology began with the Industrial Revolution in the 1800s, many new areas of tribological studies have been suggested, which are at the interface of various scientific disciplines. These areas include nanotribology, biotribology, the tribology of magnetic storage devices and micro/nanoelectromechanical systems. The research in these areas is driven mostly by the advent of new technologies and new experimental techniques for surface characterization. Green tribology is a new, separate, research area that is emerging, and it is defined as the science and technology of the tribological aspects of ecological balance and of environmental and biological impacts. There are a number of tribological problems that can be put under the umbrella of green tribology, and they are of mutual benefit to one another. These problems include tribological technology, which mimics living nature (biomimetic surfaces) and thus is expected to be environment friendly, the control of friction and wear, which is of importance for energy conservation and conversion, environmental aspects of lubrication and surface modification techniques and tribological aspects of green applications such as wind-power turbines, tidal turbines or solar panels.The present Theme Issue of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A is the first volume on green tribology ever published. It was a great honour and pleasure for us to work on editing this issue. We invited prominent experts in various areas that fit the definition of green tribology. The international group of authors represents tribologists from the US, the UK, Canada, China and Israel. The topics covered in this issue include a biomimetic approach in tribology and other environment-friendly technology biodegradable lubrication and applications such as renewable energy sources. We would like to thank our colleagues, the authors, who responded to our invitations and contributed to this issue. We would also like to acknowledge the support of the editorial board members of Philosophical Transactions A, who recognized the importance of green tribology and agreed to dedicate the Theme Issue to this new discipline.FootnotesOne contribution of 11 to a Theme Issue 'Green tribology'.© 2010 The Royal Society Next Article VIEW FULL TEXT DOWNLOAD PDF FiguresRelatedReferencesDetailsCited by Van Minh N, Kuzharov A, Hai Ninh L, Huynh N and Kuzharov A (2021) Green Tribology Tribology in Materials and Manufacturing - Wear, Friction and Lubrication, 10.5772/intechopen.94510 Jiang Y, Xiao C, Chen L, Li J, Zhang C, Zhou N, Qian L and Luo J (2021) Temporary or permanent liquid superlubricity failure depending on shear-induced evolution of surface topography, Tribology International, 10.1016/j.triboint.2021.107076, 161, (107076), Online publication date: 1-Sep-2021.
