About

The Second International Brazilian Conference on Tribology TriboBr-2014 emphasized the tribological challenges associated with sustainability and renewable energy sources, in particular hydroelectric and wind power generation, biofuels and biolubricants. In this sense, multidisciplinary topics have been planed such as large bearings, tribological challenges associated with sugar cane production (tillage, harvesting, etc), ethanol production (milling, tribocorrosion, etc), and flex fuel engines, and, of course new tribo-materials.

TriboBR-2014 was held in November 2014 in Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná, Brazil. Foz do Iguaçu, besides being a wonderful and scenic venue (Iguaçu Falls one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature, rain forest etc) is home of the second biggest hydroelectric power plant in the world (Itaipú Binacional - 14000 MW) and therefore will be a perfect location to discuss sustainability and its tribological challenges.
