In 2010, Professor Nosonovsky, together with Prof. Bhushan, published the first scientific book on Green Tribology and the first theme issue of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society (a very prestigious, oldest scientific journal in the world, where Newton, Franklin, Darwin and other great scientists of the past published their work). Green Tribology (or eco-tribology) is a new area of surface engineering which combines biomimetic tribology, “green” (eco-friendly) lubrication, and tribology of clean energy (e.g., wind energy).
Dr. Nosonovsky also formulated the fundamental “Twelve Principles of Green Tribology.” These are widely used today by various researches. Conferences are organized, books and papers published. Below I listed some mentions of the “Twelve Principles of Green Tribology” in the current literature.
Researchers from Politecnico di Milano, Piazza Leonardo da Vinci:
“In 2010, Nosonovsky and Bhushan drew up 12 approaches based on the 12 principles of green chemistry and the 12 principles of green engineering, defining the “12 principles of green tribology.” This review exploits the 12 principles of green tribology to fathom the developed research related to sustainability and tribology. “

“In “Green Tribology: Principles, Research Areas and Challenges” (https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/pdf/10.1098/rsta.2010.0200) by Nosonovsky and Bhushan discuss the three main aspects of tribology, biomimetic (synthetic methods that mimic biochemical processes) and self-lubricating surfaces and materials, environmentally friendly and biodegradable lubrications, and renewable/sustainable sources of energy. Building on these three areas, Nosonovsky and Bhushan developed the twelve principles of green tribology.”
