Introduction 

The friction and wear are not very old for industries, but the word Tribology came after the Jost report in 1960. It is derived from Greek words i.e., Tribo (rubbing) and Logy (science). Hence, Tribology has analysed the science and technology behind rubbing. It involves the study of the interaction of solid- solid, the interaction of fluid-fluid, and the interaction of solid-fluid when bodies are in relative motion. It covers the study of friction, wear, and application of lubrication. It is noticed that any tribological performance depends on a huge number of external parameters such as contact pressure at the interface, the temperature of the system, the relative speed between bodies, and contact behaviour. Over the past several decades in all industrial applications, friction and wear came to be very important aspects due to the greater number of moving parts available in any machinery. It is very important to know in machinery what kind of mechanism is involved in the improvement of energy and life of the machine. Therefore, the correct application of friction and wear can save and improve the life of machinery and industry. In industry, there are numerous examples where tribology plays a very important role like gears, bearings, clutches, lubrication, etc. But it is unfortunate that the tribology word is unknown to most researchers/industrialists apart from its huge involvement in daily life as well as in industrial systems. Hence, it is required to communicate properly to all researchers/industrialists due to whom they can gain knowledge of tribology in industrial systems. Therefore, a special focus will be placed on the advances and novelty provided by the papers in relation to existing knowledge. The special issue on “Sustainable Development through Tribology” will be an addition to the existing literature on tribology. The special issue will present papers in the field of tribology on the most recent innovations, trends, practical challenges encountered, and the solutions adopted for energy, efficiency, and economy.
