"This book provides an overview of tribology and lubricant chemistry. The first part is theoretical and provides an introduction to tribological contact, friction, wear and lubrication, as well as the basic concepts regarding properties and the most commonly made analyses on lubricants. Base fluids and their properties and common additives used in lubricants are also covered. The second part is hands-on and covers the actual formulations and the evaluation of their performance. Different applications and their corresponding lubricant formulations are considered, as well as tribological test methods. Lastly, used oil characterisation and surface characterisations are discussed. This resource combines chemistry and tribology of lubricants into a unified approach and considers applications of lubricants in hydraulics, gears and combustion engines. --"
