Overview
Presented by:
Ardian Morina, Professor of Engineering Tribology, University of Leeds
The fundamental and impactful discovery of energy efficient tribological systems in industry, transport, healthcare or micro/nano technologies is being hugely limited by the lack of detailed understanding of the origin of friction and wear at the tribological interface. One of the key challenges in developing novel low friction tribological technologies is the ability to fully predict the tribochemistry processes involved in the formation of low friction and low wear tribofilms from lubricant additives.
This lecture will review the latest research on synchrotron and molecular vibrational technologies for experimental in-situ study of boundary lubricated interface processes with the aim of obtaining the kinetics of tribochemical reactions. A detailed understanding of the tribochemical reactions has the potential to greatly improve the productivity of lubricant, coating and equipment manufacturing industries as it facilitates a departure from the development of tribological systems by Edisonian trial-and-error approach to a process guided by scientific understanding of the tribological interface.

Ardian Morina: Professor of Engineering Tribology, University of Leeds
Professor Ardian Morina holds a chair in Engineering Tribology. His research is focused on developing experimental and numerical tools for elucidating the chemical and physical processes at tribological interfaces and their effect on friction and wear performance of industrial engineering systems. He is the author of >100 papers and has been Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator on numerous research projects supported by EPSRC, EU and industry. His research work has been recognised through several best paper/presentation awards as well as with the STLE Wilbur Deutsch Hunt Memorial Award in 2013. He is the Guest Editor of the 2014 and 2016 Leeds-Lyon Symposium on Tribology special issues on Tribology International and Journal of Engineering Tribology, Associate Editor of the Proceedings of the IMechE Part J: Journal of Engineering Tribology and is on the Editorial Board of Lubrication Science and Tribology – Materials, Surfaces and Interfaces journals. In addition to research in Tribology, Professor Morina has led the development of the Erasmus Mundus funded European master programme in Tribology and has provided key contribution in the development of EPSRC funded Integrated Tribology Centre for Doctoral Training.
