There is strong anticipation for contributions from tribology in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from mechanical systems and achieving a carbon-neutral society. Surface texturing has long been implemented as one method to improve tribological properties, focusing on reducing friction losses and wear damage. However, recent advancements in surface processing techniques and lubrication analysis have significantly progressed in this area. This special issue aims to cover various aspects of surface texturing technologies for enhancing tribological properties, ranging from fundamental lubrication mechanisms to practical applications, including theoretical analysis, surface design, surface processing, surface modification, and evaluation methods. Through this special issue, the journal aims to showcase current trends and future prospects in this field.
