| Objectives of the Course | |||||
| The objective of the Nanotribology course is to provide students with the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to understand tribological phenomena such as friction, adhesion, and wear at the nanometer scale. The course highlights the differences between conventional tribology and nanotribology, exploring how surface forces affect the behavior of systems at small scales. Additionally, the course will focus on the applications of nanotribology in various fields, particularly its importance in materials science, biotechnology, and micro/nano engineering. This course aims to equip students with the technical foundation needed to develop more efficient and sustainable solutions for small-scale systems. | |||||
