Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lubricants play an important role in reducing friction damage on the surface of objects. In machinery, metallurgy and other fields, many products are at risk of wear and corrosion. In order to improve the properties of products in harsh work conditions, the performance of lubricants is important. Therefore, we would like to invite you to submit reports of your original research to this Lubricants Special Issue entitled “Microstructure, Anti-Wear Properties and Numerical Simulation of Lubricants”. The specific topics of interest for this Special Issue include (but are not restricted to):
- Lubricant microstructure characterization;
- Design of lubricant;
- Simulation and analysis of lubricants;
- Surface coating technology;
- Novel lubricant;
- Friction and wear properties of the coating;
- Other aspects on lubricant.

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.
