DR Tom Reddyhoff
Imperial College London
Soft Tribology Experiments
Lubricated interfaces between flexible materials determine the performance of many industrial and biological systems. Here, component deformation complicates already intricate lubrication mechanisms. This webinar reports on in situ measurement methods (based on optical, acoustic, and electrical phenomena) applied to sliding contacts as part of research into vehicle noise, aircraft seals, and taste perception of foods and beverages.

The Webinar will first provide an introduction to the scientific publishing scene- its history and recent developments. Then it will explain how journal operations are organised, including the roles of the Publisher, Editors and Editorial Board. The webinar will then outline how to get published, including guidance on selecting a journal and formulating the paper content and layout. The peer review process is described. Authors’ responsibilities are discussed, including advice on publishing ethics. The move towards Open Access is also mentioned.

About us
Every month, we will bring you a sector-leading speaker to present the current challenges and future trends in engineered surfaces. Our main aim with these events is to bring high-quality industry education and the calibre and quality of international conferences to the comfort of your own home.
Our webinars are typically hour-long experiences, with a talk from a highly regarded industry expert for 30-40 minutes, followed by audience questions. As well as being able to register to watch and take part in our events live, we also post video recordings of all our webinars to this site for future viewing.
It has never been easier to access the valuable insight of high-calibre industry professionals and engage in valuable discussions surrounding surface engineering with others from around the world. You gain access to some of the best in the field – all for free and all from your home.
We are supported primarily by volunteers, looking to make industry discussion more accessible and valuable to all.
