Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 152))

Abstract

In the introduction we provide an overview of scientific disciplines and research areas that are relevant to the multidisciplinary topic of the book: self-healing materials, surface science and tribology, nonequilibrium thermodynamics, self-organization during friction, nonlinear effects in friction, composite materials, and biomimetics. We introduce basic concepts and definitions that are used throughout this book.
