Die dritte Auflage erscheint in zwei Bänden und enthält die neusten Entwicklungen, Technologien und Prozesse auf diesem Gebiet. Das Buch bietet für alle wichtigen Schmierstoffanwendungen eine für Chemiker und Ingenieure zugängliche interdisziplinäre Einführung, in deren Mittelpunkt nicht die unterschiedlichen Produkte sondern die spezifischen anwendungstechnischen Kriterien stehen. Somit ist es nicht nur ein Ratgeber bei der Entwicklung neuer Schmierstoffe, sondern auch bei der Auswahl des geeigneten Schmierstoffs für einen bestimmten Anwendungsbereich.
