Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue on the subject of "Tribological Behaviour of Borided Surfaces". Our aim with this issue is to compile a comprehensive collection of the most recent, cutting-edge developments and innovations in the field of the tribology of the borided surfaces.
We are seeking both review articles and original research that provide theoretical explorations, ground-breaking experimental research, and other inventive approaches. These contributions will help deepen our understanding of the mechanisms at play on multiple scales. We also encourage novel applications that push the existing boundaries of this field. The scope of this issue includes topics such as friction, dry and wet wear, corrosion, lubrication, adhesion, and contact mechanics in the context of macro-, and micro surfaces, as well as surface engineering techniques and the design and fabrication of these engineered surfaces.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
