Biomaterials And Medical Tribology

Biomaterials And Medical Tribology

  • written by highly knowledgeable and well-respected experts in the field
  • diversity of subjects from international experts
  • the scientific material surrounding this subject is of importance to research centres and universities worldwide

The science of tribological phenomena in the human body is termed as medical tribology both those that occur in organ tissues and those that arise after implanting an artificial device, while biomaterials are inert substances designed to be incorporated into living systems. Biomaterials and medical tribology brings together a collection of high quality articles and case studies focussing on new research and developments in these two important fields. The book provides details of the different types of biomaterial available, including metals, polymers and composites, while chapters in the latter half offer an analysis of friction, wear, lubrication and other related issues in specific applications.
