Abstract

The title of this editorial reflects an effort in creating a unique research forum, to harbor fundamental as well as
review articles, meeting the forefront of this scientific field. The Guest Editors sought to attract articles on friction,
wear, surface properties, and the development of sufficient procedures, to arrest wear progression as well as to indicate mechanisms to prolong the effectiveness of the implicated materials.
In these terms it was exciting and rewarding to embrace related papers of scientists from around the world. The concept of wear-related phenomena in advanced materials, along with a short introduction on the subjects, addressed
by the accepted papers, will be presented in the following paragraphs.
