First and only encyclopedia on lubricants on the market.
Highly reputable editor and authors from industry and academia.
Highly application-oriented articles, chapters on tribology are also included.
The importance of lubricants in virtually all fields of the engineering industry is reflected by an increasing scientific research of the basic principles. Energy efficiency and material saving are just two core objectives of the employment of high-tech lubricants. The encyclopedia presents a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge in the realm of lubrication. All the aspects of fundamental data, underlying concepts and use cases, as well as theoretical research and last but not least terminology are covered in hundreds of essays and definitions, authored by experts in their respective fields, from industry and academic institutes.

Lubrication is certainly an essential, if not the essential, area of tribology.
Virtually all moving parts are lubricated and suitable lubricants are employed
to maximize the lifetime of machine elements and to minimize energy
consumption and overall costs. Making lubrication successful requires combined
efforts: selecting the right lubricant, using the right lubricating system,
keeping the lubricant in good conditions, incorporating properly the lubricant
into the engineering process as a machine element, finding the suitable test
procedure to check the efficiency of the lubricant, selecting the right criteria
to protect the environment and to improve the energy efficiency and, last but
not least, finding the overall economically best solution.
The Encyclopedia of Lubricants and Lubrication will be a leading and
comprehensive reference work covering all major aspects of the science,
technology and application of lubricants and lubrication, friction, wear and
related fields.
It took more than 3 years of hard work of outstanding experts in awide range
of disciplines to compile this encyclopedia. I would give my sincere thanks to
all the invited authors and colleagues of Springer, especially Dr.MartinM€uller.
