Tribology on the Small Scale: A Modern Textbook on Friction, Lubrication, and WearFriction, lubrication, adhesion, and wear are prevalent physical phenomena in everyday life and in many key technologies. This book incorporates a bottom up approach to friction, lubrication, and wear into a versatile textbook on tribology. This is done by focusing on how these tribological phenomena occur on the small scale the atomic to the micrometer scale a field often called nanotribology. The book covers the microscopic origins of the common
