The WTC III Organizers are proud to announce the unveiling of the technical program. An impressive lineup of technical committee organizers have shaped a state-of-the art program that aims to boost the global awareness and significance of tribology.

Among the highlights--
Several sessions will focus on nanotribology and its role in the fast growing area of nano-technology; the influence of adhesion and stiction in MEMS devices; and a special K.L Johnson Symposium paying tribute to a pioneer in the field of contact mechanics. The program also covers many important areas that are vital to our industrial technologies such as lubricants, wear, tribochemistry, additives, bearings, engines, materials, surface engineering and aerospace. Advances in health and safety topics will be highlighted with an emphasis on the impact of tribology on biomaterials and biomedical devices. Several sessions have also been organized to address orthopaedic joints and how their well-being affects our daily lives. Click here to view the entire technical program.
