Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tribological components, mainly including bearings, seals, and blade tenon joints, play a crucial role in determining the reliability and service life of aerospace equipment, which have received broad attention from the engineering and academic communities. Due to the extreme working conditions in aerospace systems, such as high temperature, cryogenic environments, high speed, and heavy loads, it is very challenging to conduct aerospace tribological investigations and develop high-performance components. In recent years, surface texturing, special coatings, new frictional materials, and other advanced tribological techniques have been adopted in this field and achieved significant progresses.
This Special Issue aims to share the advances in tribological behaviors under typical extreme situations, high-performance aerospace tribological components, advanced tribometers for studying aerospace components, and other novel aspects in the field of Aerospace Tribology. It covers typical tribological components in aerospace equipment, materials, coatings, surface engineering, and tribological devices. Both experimental and theoretical investigations are highly welcome.

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.
