Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Commercially available lubricants, e.g., lithium and calcium lubricants, are usually nonconductive. However, the rapid industrial development in various industrial fields has increased the demand for lubricants with exceptional properties, such as high thermal and electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and high temperature and pressure stability.
Heat dissipation is a serious problem for many machines, as it impairs their performance, efficiency, and accuracy, and limits the lifetime of the machines. Therefore, thermal lubricants have been invented to remove the heat generated by machines as fast as possible to keep the machine temperature within the acceptable range and avoid any effect on the performance of the machines. Electrically conductive lubricants are required in certain applications, including but are not limited to next-generation electric vehicles, superb electric-motor-bearing protection, and electrical contact improvement. Electrical switches and contacts are considerably enhanced and maintained over long periods in extremely corrosive environments using electrically conductive lubricants. The low weight percentage and optimal thermal management performance of nanomaterials has paved the way for manufacturing commercial-grade, cost-effective thermal lubricants that can compete in today’s global market. The current Special Issue aims to include contributions from world-leading scientists working on electrically and thermally conductive lubricants to deepen our understanding of lubricants. Contributions are welcome from all scientists working on lubricants and related areas.

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.
