Green Tribological Behavior of Waxes, Adhesives and Lubricants

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Green Tribology

Part of the book series: Green Energy and Technology ((GREEN))

Abstract

General characteristics of waxes, adhesives and lubricants as well as the recent fundamental investigations on their physical and mechanical behavior are introduced. The current R & D status for new type/generation of waxes, adhesives, and lubricants from natural products is reviewed, with an emphasis on their tribological applications. In particular, some crucial issues and challenges on the technological improvement and the materials development are discussed. Based on the current predicted shortage of energy resources and environmental concerns, prospective research on the development of green waxes, adhesives, and lubricants is suggested.
