Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lubricating greases are markedly visco-elastical lubricants with a special tribological behavior, but with a wide range of application. Our research work has, more or less, two main directions: understanding the behavior of greases during tribology stress, and furthering knowledge of the behavior of greases in concrete machine element applications. In the course of this work, opportunities were also created to develop new lubricants such as biodegradable and completely biogenic lubricating greases.
In recent years, work on the structural degradation of lubricating greases has increasingly been carried out. This has led to a new research focus on lubricating grease tribology. Energetical investigations seem to be an appropriate tool with which to obtain new information.
The success of the Special Issue of Lubricating Greases in 2017 (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/lubricants/special_issues/greases2017) encouraged us to continue this interesting topic.
We hope researchers will accept our invitation and present their research work.
Prof. Dr. Erik Kuhn

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
