Contact
Cádiz
13-17 April 2015
Cádiz, Spain
Lubricated Contact Cádiz (13-17 April 2015, Cádiz, Spain) will cover all aspects of lubrication mechanisms from the nanoscale to the macroscopic scale with emphasis on the influence of lubricant additive chemistry and surface modifications on the lubricated film formation and friction response. This will allow us to establish a link between research groups investigating the chemistry, physics and mechanics of tribological systems from all over the world.
The program will include advances in additives and additive chemistry. Surface modifications, in terms of chemistry, physics and topography will be discussed. This session could will include progress that has been made in surface analyses. From nanotribology to elastohydrodynamic lubrication, including rheology and surface texturing, we will cover various space scales and lubrication regimes. A session will also be dedicated to the subject of biotribology to cover lubrication aspects of biological systems.
Further sessions will be focused on advances on the subject of solid lubrication/wear and ionic liquids for lubrication.
The meeting will take place in the University of Cádiz.

Why is this no longer an ECI conference?
Our intention is to facilitate the attendance of as many tribologists as possible at this meeting, but unfortunately we were unable to reach an agreement with ECI on the registration fee. As a result, we have found an amicable solution with ECI, whereby the meeting will be held under the auspices of Swiss Tribology. We believe that this is in the best interests of all concerned, and are pleased to be able to offer attendees a registration fee that is in line with, or below, that of other comparable tribology meetings. All other aspects of the conference remain unchanged.
