Increasing sustainability, ecological, and geopolitical demands create new challenges for tribologists and lubrication experts. Along with the well-known premium attributes of lubricants and tribological systems, these non-technical functionalities generate new technological requirements. The goal of the 1st International Conference on Tribology and Sustainable Lubrication – NEXTLUB, is to promote suitable innovative technologies and close knowledge gaps.
April 18 - 19, 2023
Maritim Hotel, Düsseldorf, Germany
The conference is organized by FVA, GfT, and UNITI and focuses on the following topics:
- Environmentally-friendly lubricants
- Renewable and recycled raw materials
- Re-refined base oils
- Bio-lubricants
- Lubricant digital twins
- Inline & offline condition monitoring
- End-of-life treatment
- Life cycle analysis (LCA)
- Long-life/extended drains
- Energy efficiency – measurement, scaling, simulation
- Superlubricity, minimized friction
- Materials & coatings for improved lubrication
- Material efficiency & resource conservation through wear protection
- Maintenance, repair, and recycling
- Lubricants in electric drivetrains
- Thermal properties of lubricating fluids
- Electrical and electromagnetic properties of fluids
