Tribology has experienced substantial development and increased interest in recent years in . In order to organize and make continue the Brazilian activities in Tribology, a Tribology Technical Division was created within the Associação Brasileira de Metalurgia, Materiais e Mineração-ABM [Brazilian Association for Metallurgy, Materials and Mining], a 65 years old, prestigious, Brazilian association. In order to celebrate such a creation, ABM is organizing the First International Brazilian Conference on Tribology, TriboBr-2010.  


The scope of this multidisciplinary Conference will embrace state of art and future trends in tribology research and application. It will also provide an international forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange information, present new developments, establish new international personal networks and discuss the future directions and priorities of tribology. In particular, the generation and conservation of energy, the reduction of friction and wear and the preservation of the environment are of special concern therefore contributing to innovation in the 21st Century and to the sustainable growth of society.
