Abstract
Approaches to solid surface topography characterization are discussed in this chapter, including experimental methods used in the conventional, nano-, and biotribology. Basic concepts of the statistical and fractal analysis of random rough surfaces and surface contact are reviewed. Common ways of surface modification, such as texturing and layer deposition, are discussed.
