  • Tribology of micro electro mechanical systems-computer heads and magnetic storage devices.

  • Lubricant rheology.

  • Modes of lubrication

  • Physical and chemical actions associated with surface films.

  • Surface coatings.

  • Analysis of rough surfaces including micro-EHL.

  • Very thin film (nanometre) lubrication.

  • Friction lubrication and wear in thin films.
