This book discusses the tribological, rheological and optical properties of liquid-crystal nanomaterials as well as lubricant media. It also describes the formation of liquid-crystal materials and the application of cholesteric liquid-crystal compounds in technical friction units and in human and animal joints. Further, it shows the connection between the tribological and other physical properties of liquid-crystal cholesterol compounds and develops a lubricity conceptual model of cholesteric-nematic, liquid-crystalline nanostructures on the basis of physical and energetic interpretations. This general model is valid for all surfaces and friction pairs, including biopolymers, and could lead to applications of cholesteric liquid-crystalline nanomaterials in different friction units and tribosystems as well as in the treatment of joint diseases.

Sergey Ermakov S.F. graduated from Gomel State University, Physics Faculty. He obtained his Ph.D. in 1986, D.Sc. in 2002 and became a professor in 2008. He has been working in V.A. Belyi Metal-Polymer Research Institute of National Academy of Sciences of Belarus since 1979. Prof. Ermakov was head of the laboratory "Physics and Chemistry of Lubricants" from 2003 to 2005, and head of department "Tribophysics of Liquid-crystal materials" from 2005 to 2012. He has been chair of the "Tribophysics of lubricating materials" laboratory since 2012 and a professor at the Department of Microprocessor Technology and Information Management Systems at Belarusian State University of Transport, where he has combined scientific work with teaching since 2003. He received the Award for Best Research at Belarus National Academy of Sciences in 1990 and 2015. In 1998 Prof. Ermakov was awarded the P. Kapitsa Silver Medal for scientific discovery. He has published 7 monographs and more than 300 technical papers and has 22 inventor's certificates and 37 patents in the Republic of Belarus, Russian Federation and the USA. He is a member of the editorial board of the journals "Friction and Wear" and "Neftyanik Polesya".
