Advancements and Future of Tribology from IFToMM

A Tribology Committee, focused on tribology in machines, was set up in 2005 as a Technical committee of the IFToMM, an organization that has historically supported tribological activities. Tribology has been developed very rapidly in the last 20 years. Several new areas have been identified, such as nano-tribology, bio-tribology, superlubricity, and surface texture. In the present and following years, these topics as well as tribology in nanomanufacturing, green-tribology, tribology in extreme conditions, surface texture, and tribology in new energy fields will play important roles in the study of machines and mechanisms. We describe here some of the major advances in these areas in recent years and project some future needs in the next 10 years
