Summary Tribology is the study of friction, wear and lubrication. Recently, the concept of ""green tribology"" as ""the science and technology of the tribological aspects of ecological balance and of environmental and biological impacts"" was introduced. The field of green tribology includes tribological technology that mimics living nature (biomimetic surfaces) and thus is expected to be environmentally friendly, the control of friction and wear that is of importance for energy conservation and conversion, environmental aspects of lubrication and surface modification techniques, and tribological aspe
