AB  - Nanotechnology concerns the preparation and properties of organised ensembles of atoms and molecules of nanometer dimensions. The growth of nanotechnology is having a profound impact on the development of tribology, to the extent that a new branch of the field, termed "nanotribology" has emerged. This paper outlines some of the main contributions of nanotechnology to tribology to date, including the application of nanoscale experimental techniques, the modelling of tribological systems at the nanoscale and the study and properties of nanoscale structures and processes in rubbing contacts. One of the most interesting recent advances in nanotribology is the development and use of dispersed nanoscale colloidal particles as lubricant additives. The properties and behaviour of these nanoadditives is discussed.
