Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The brake system is a key component for both automobiles and trains. Its performance not only determines driving safety but also affects passengers’ comfort. Considerable improvements in the brake system have been achieved to improve the noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) performance of vehicle brake systems. Moreover, with the introduction of the Euro 7 emission standards, airborne particles emitted from automobile brake systems have also been studied extensively; however, there are still large gaps in the current knowledge of NVH performance and airborne particle emissions of vehicle brake systems.
The current Special Issue aims to summarize the latest developments concerning brake wear particle emissions and brake system noise, including friction and wear behaviors at the contact interface, the dynamic response of brake materials, particle diffusion and noise transmission in the environment, and particle as well as noise reduction methods. Here, special focus is given to regenerative braking and its potential to reduce particle and noise emissions compared to conventional ICE vehicles. This Special Issue may provide useful support to engineers and scholars responsible for developing the most efficient and dependable vehicle brake systems.

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.
