Tribology is the science of rubbing surfaces and contributes to every facet of our everyday life, from live cell friction to engine lubrication and seismology. As such tribology is truly multidisciplinary and this extraordinary breadth of scientific interest is reflected in the scope of Tribology International.Tribology International seeks to publish original research papers of the highest scientific quality to provide an archival resource for scientists from all backgrounds. Written contributions are invited reporting experimental and modelling studies both in established areas of tribology and emerging fields. Scientific topics include the physics or chemistry of tribo-surfaces, bio-tribology, surface engineering and materials, contact mechanics, nano-tribology, lubricants and hydrodynamic lubrication.

摩擦學是摩擦表面的科學，它對我們日常生活的方方面面都有貢獻，從活細胞摩擦到發動機潤滑和地震學。因此，摩擦學確實是多學科的，這一非常廣泛的科學興趣反映在摩擦學國際的范圍內。摩擦學國際致力于出版具有最高科學質量的原始研究論文，為來自不同背景的科學家提供檔案資源。請提供書面報告，報告在摩擦學和新興領域的實驗和建模研究。科學主題包括摩擦表面的物理或化學、生物摩擦學、表面工程和材料、接觸力學、納米摩擦學、潤滑劑和流體動力潤滑。
