Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the pursuit of optimal performance and longevity in mechanical systems, lubrication stands as a cornerstone, mitigating wear and friction to ensure smooth operation. Traditional lubricants have long been subject to refinement and enhancement, yet the quest for superior efficiency and durability persists. Enter the realm of nanoparticle additives, a burgeoning frontier in lubrication science promising revolutionary advancements.
This Special Issue delves into the realm of thermophysical and tribological characterization of nanoparticle-enriched lubricants, aiming to unravel the complex dynamics involved and explore the potential of nanoparticle additives. Nanoparticles, owing to their unique size-dependent properties, exhibit remarkable abilities to modify the behavior of lubricants, offering promising opportunities for enhancing lubrication efficiency and durability across diverse industrial applications.
Within this Special Issue, researchers converge to explore the multifaceted aspects of nanoparticle-lubricant interactions. From elucidating the thermophysical properties of nanoparticle-loaded lubricants to dissecting their tribological performance under varying conditions, each contribution endeavors to illuminate the path toward harnessing the full potential of these nano-additives.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. 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 to the Editorial Office 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. Lubricants is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
