Special Issue Description
Dear Collegues,
The tribological obstacles that components utilized in wet, lubricated, or submerged settings must overcome can ultimately influence performance and shorten the life of the larger system, especially when those components slide or come into contact with other components.
This procedure involves the creation of mechanical seals, high-pressure valves, and pump parts that can withstand corrosive, moist environments.
Because these substrates have a consistently high COF when uncoated, they are also easily damaged by the high friction of sliding or mating parts. In light of this, it is preferred to maintain sliding parts' coefficients of friction as close to zero as possible. The coefficient of friction (COF) quantifies how much friction there is between two surfaces. The force necessary to cause sliding is less than it is when the COF is high, according to a low value of COF.
There are industrial thin film coatings available that can lower friction to significantly increase the life and functionality of crucial components. This so-called diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings can drastically reduce COF while significantly increasing the surface hardness of even hard ceramic substrates.

Manuscript Submission information
Manuscripts should be submitted online by registering and logging in to this link. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed.
Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent on email address:[email protected] for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page.
