A Focused Conference on Frontiers in Boundary Lubricating Films

西北大学为年轻和成熟的研究人员提供部分旅行支持，以参加将于2006年4月9日至14日在法国里昂举行的关于边界润滑膜前沿的专题会议/研讨会。会议的目的是探索与边界润滑相关的几个领域的前沿研究和研究需求，从材料科学和化学到表面工程、力学和摩擦学。这一课题对运输和制造机械的能源消耗以及环境友好型润滑油添加剂的开发具有重要意义。会议的成果将对未来的研究方向、国际合作的发展和所提交的论文的发表提出建议。

Abstract0612937Wang, JaneNorthwestern UniversityPartial travel support is provided for young and established researchers to participate in A Focused Conference/Workshop on Frontiers in Boundary Lubricating Films, which will be held in Lyon, France, during April 9-14, 2006. The purpose of the meeting is to explore cutting-edge research and research needs in the several fields, which are relevant to the topic of boundary lubrication, from materials science and chemistry to surface engineering, mechanics, and tribology. The topic has significant importance for energy consumption in transportation and manufacturing machinery and for development of environmentally benign lubricant additives. Results of the conference will be recommendations for future research directions, development of international collaborations and publication of the presented papers.
