Abstract: After reviewing the evolutive history of tribology, the current status and the prospect of main fields in tribology since 1960s, including hydrodynamic lubrication, materal wear, surface technique and nano-tribology, are summarized. The development of correlative subjects and subject intercrossing that promote the tribology research is analyzed as well. The development tendency of tribology and other intercrossing subjects, such as tribo-chemistry, bio-triboloty, eco-tribology, micro-mchnology, etc. , are also introduced.

Key words: Eco-tribology, Hydrodynamic lubrication, Material wear, Nano-tribology, Tribo-chemistry
