Tribologists are scientists or engineers who specialize in the study of tribology, which is the science and engineering of interacting surfaces in relative motion. This field encompasses the principles of friction, wear, and lubrication. Tribologists work to understand how materials behave under different conditions of contact and movement, aiming to reduce friction and wear in mechanical systems, enhance the performance and lifespan of components, and improve the efficiency of machines.
