Tribologically
effective coatings based on nanotechnology are behind the term nano tribology, which, for example, has been researched
since 2002 pursuant to the EU-promoted research cluster
Nanotrib. The aim is to understand the basic principles of tribology in order to enable a systematic development of trbiologically effective surfaces
and contact surface systems,
and influence such systems
in a targeted manner. The modification of surfaces or contact surfaces
through nanotechnology, and the fact that tribological
effects occur on such thin contact surfaces and surfaces justifies the
integration in nano tribology.
