Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tribo-Corrosion as a subject has become of increasing interest in the past 20 years due to the many areas that Tribology, including erosion and wear, can interact with corrosion. These include bio-implants such as hip joints, where replacement materials and coatings may interact with articulating bone to form wear debris, and dental implants, where Tribo-Corrosion needs to be reduced in order to ensure optimum oral health. In renewable energy devices, such as wind turbines, blades and surface coatings must be designed to resist erosion from rain, hail and other debris and sunlight, and tidal turbine blades need to be coated to increase the lifetime of composites in sea water. In mineral processing, such as mining, Tribo-Corrosion has been long established as an issue causing significant deterioration of the conveying lines containing extractive materials. In this Special Issue, the themes of Tribo-Corrosion will be addressed by internationally leading experts in these diverse fields ranging from biological interfaces to renewable energy devices. In addition to reporting on studies of topical areas of great interest in the field, the scientific methods used to understand and evaluate Tribo-Corrosion issues will be addressed. The various research papers will provide an overview of current themes and explore the future of the subject in various 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.
