Given the fact that industrial applications leave no room for trial-and-error solutions, the conference wants to showcase and spread a deeper understanding of the underlying microscopic mechanisms in the tribological contact.

Looking forward the #Friction2021 discusses six urgent topics by scientists and researchers.

• A: Wear resistant alloys
• B: Low friction coatings
• C: Ceramics and ceramic matrix composites
• D: Polymers and polymer composites
• E: Additively manufactured Tribosystems
• F: Material-lubricant interactions

The conference program will be complemented by invited lectures and plenary talks in addition to submitted papers and posters.

Going virtual the #Friction2021 reaches out to scientists around the globe to exchange thoughts, discuss contributions, and strengthen their respective networks.
