ABSTRACT

Biotribology includes tribological phenomena of natural and implant surface interactions under relative motion in the human body. Biotribology: Emerging Technologies and Applications disseminates ideas and research trends in biotribology and presents pioneering recent research advances impacting the field, focusing on the roles of mathematics, chemistry, physics, materials, and mechanical engineering.

  • Discusses lubrication of joint replacements, computational modeling of biotribology and multibody biomechanical models
  • Describes metal-organic frameworks, medical friction pairs, and electrochemical techniques to tribocorrosion tests
  • Covers state of the art and future technological developments and applications, as well as challenges and opportunities

Biotribology is an important and growing field, and the topics covered in this book will be of great interest to the international tribology community, appealing to readers working in the fields of materials science, biomedical engineering, biotechnology, mechanical engineering, and related areas.
