History - early beginnings, range of applications occurrence and extraction - occurrence molybdenum and its compounds - oxides of molybdenum, chemical uses of molybdenum properties of molybdenum disulphide - intercalation compounds, oxidation mechanism of lubrication - fundamentals of friction, load-carrying capacity formation of molybdenum disulphide films - burnishing of soft films, effects of moisture and other vapours on film formation properties of molybdenum disulphide films - friction, effects of moisture and other vapours transfer in lubrication -transfer of molybdenum disulphide, nature and location of the transfer source lubrication by molybdenum disulphide alone -different techniques of use sputtering and other physical deposition processes - effect of substrate, pulsed laser deposition bonded films - types of bonded film, friction and wear properties of bonded films composites - ceramic and inorganic composites, electrical brushes and sliprings use in oils and greases - interaction between molybdenum disulphide and liquids, pastes and dispersions other lamellar solid lubricants -occurrence and properties, transition metal dichalcogenides corrosion and fretting - the chemical environment selection and use - selecting the type of solid lubricant.
