Nanotribology and its Need-A Review [PDF]
International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development, 2019 tribology is a texture of two latin words tribo and lodgy . Tribo refers adding glove and lazy data. The Greeks first added it to appreciate the development of huge stones on the surface of the world. Today Tribology accepts a fundamental job in different imaginative districts in advanced mechanical organizations of semiconductor and data emissions ...
