Download or read book Nano-tribology and Materials in MEMS written by Sujeet K. Sinha and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-08-27 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together recent developments in the areas of MEMS tribology, novel lubricants and coatings for nanotechnological applications, biomimetics in tribology and fundamentals of micro/nano-tribology. Tribology plays important roles in the functioning and durability of machines at small length scales because of the problems associated with strong surface adhesion, friction, wear etc. Recently, a number of studies have been conducted to understand tribological phenomena at nano/micro scales and many new tribological solutions for MEMS have been proposed.
