Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wear-resistant lubrication are a viable option for reducing friction and wear in a variety of environments. With rapid advances in science and technology, techniques in more modern industrial tribo-systems rely on lubricating materials for high performance, efficiency, and durability, especially to design and produce materials that possess a high wear resistance and a low friction coefficient over wide load, speed, and temperature ranges. However, a lack of understanding of tribological mechanisms hinders the optimization design of lubricating materials and their applications in other fields.
This Special Issue on the “Advances in wear-resistant lubrication materials” hopes to attract both academic and industrial researchers to promote innovation in the application of wear-resistant lubrication materials, thereby fostering new ideas for future research and expanding knowledge in this field. We sincerely hope that you will accept our invitation to contribute to this Special Issue.
Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Friction and wear properties of traditional wear-resistant lubrication materials;
- Lubrication mechanisms of wear-resistant lubrication;
- Research and development of new-type solid-lubricating materials.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
