The 7th World Tribology Congress (WTC 2022) was held from July 10 to 15, 2022, in Lyon. It was co-hosted by LaMCoS (Laboratoire de Mécanique des Contacts et des Structures), INSA de Lyon, and LTDS (Laboratoire de Tribologie et Dynamique des Systèmes), Ecole Centrale de Lyon. It was originally planned to be held in September 2021, but was postponed for ten months due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The great success of WTC 2022 was celebrated by hundreds of participants who met each other face-to-face after a long period of separation, by the beautiful summer sky throughout the week, and the celebrative atmosphere in Lyon for 14th of July, Bastille Day.
The organizing committee kindly accepted Tribology Online as one of the official journals for publication, and the Japanese Society of Tribologists (JAST) called for papers for WTC 2022 Special Issues. Papers submitted to this issue are not many, but they are from emerging areas in Tribology, from coatings, tribo-films, hydrogen tribology to education of children and young people.
On behalf of the editorial board of Tribology Online, the Editor-in-Chief would sincerely like to thank all the contributors to this Special Issue, and hope the readers find these papers interesting and useful.
