"All the principal applications of lubricants are covered as are the base fluid types and various classes of additive. Directed mainly at those working in the lubricants industry, or those in academia, it is also useful to engineers and technologists."@en
"The Chemistry and Technology of Lubricants describes the chemical components that contribute to the formulation of liquid lubricants followed by discussion of lubricant technology for specific applications. The individual components are described in Part I: Base Fluids and in Part II: Additives. Part I covers the manufacture and properties of the most common base fluid types derived either from mineral oil or by synthesis, including products from natural gas via gas-to-liquid processes. Part II describes the manufacture, mode of action and performance of the additives that are used to supplement and enhance the performance of base fluids. The use of vegetable oils is also included. Part III: Applications covers the major areas of application of liquid lubricants and each chapter is focused on technology requirements specific to the application. The book is completed by Part IV: Performance which describes more generic technology related to aspects of condition monitoring, environmental impact and industry testing. The Chemistry and Technology of Lubricants will be of use to those in both academia and industry who are working on lubricants or related areas of research and development. It will be of particular relevance for those in industry who are involved with lubricant additives, formulation and testing as well as those who are concerned with the use and specification of lubricants. Academic interest will include related chemistry and applied chemistry research as well as certain areas of mechanical engineering such as surface engineering and tribology."

"The first edition of this book was rapidly adopted as the industry bible. This edition provides a thorough update on recent rapid advances in lubrication which provides a wealth of information concerning the underlying chemistry of lubricants. All the principal applications of lubricants are covered as are the base fluid types and various classes of additive. Directed principally at those working in the lubricants industry, or those in academia seeking a chemists viewpoint of lubrication, it is also of value to engineerings and technologists requiring a more fundamental understanding of the subject."@en

"Describes the chemistry and technology of base oils, additives and applications of liquid lubricants. This title shows how the chemistry and technology of lubricants has developed since 1992. It is suitable for those working in the lubricants industry as well as individuals working within academia seeking a chemist's viewpoint of lubrication."@en
"The use oflubricants began in ancient times and has developed into a major international business through the need to lubricate machines of increasing complexity. The impetus for lubricant development has arisen from need, so lubricatingpractice has precededan understandingofthescientificprinciples. This is not surprising as the scientific basis of the technology is, by nature, highly complex and interdisciplinary. However, we believe that the under standing of lubricant phenomena will continue to be developed at a mol ecular level to meet future challenges. These challenges will include the control of emissions from internal combustion engines, the reduction of friction and wear in machinery, and continuing improvements to lubricant performanceand life-time. More recently, there has been an increased understanding ofthe chemical aspects of lubrication, which has complemented the knowledge and under standing gained through studies dealing with physics and engineering. This book aims to bring together this chemical information and present it in a practical way. It is written by chemists who are authorities in the various specialisations within the lubricating industry, and is intended to be of interest to chemists who may already be working in the lubricating industry or in academia, and who are seeking a chemist's view of lubrication. It will also be of benefit to engineers and technologists familiar with the industry who requirea more fundamental understanding oflubricants."
