Friction, Lubrication and Rheology at the Nano and Mesoscale Conference 2022
July 20, 2022 - July 21, 2022
Conference, 20 – 21 July 2022
This meeting will bring world leaders in the field together with early career researchers to discuss recent developments, open questions and new ways forward in light of potential industrial applications.
Information
Friction plays a crucial role in many phenomena from the molecular diffusion of solutes within cells and the function of our joints to industrial machinery and car engines. This meeting will bring together world leaders in the field together with early career researchers to discuss recent developments, open questions and new ways forward in light of potential industrial applications. Graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and early career academics are particularly encouraged to attend. The meeting will cover both hard and soft nanolubricated systems (including biological).
