Biomaterials and medical tribology : research and development

Medical tribology can be defined as the science of tribological phenomena in the human body, both those that naturally occur in the tissues or organs and those that arise after implantation of 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 and their applications, including nanoparticles for biomedical applications, synergism effects during fiction and fretting corrosion experiments, application of biomedical-grade titanium alloys in trabecular bone and artificial joints, fatigue strengthening of an orthopaedic Ti6AI4V alloy, wear determination on retrieved metal-on-metal hip arthoplasty, natural articular joints, the importance of bearing porosity in engineering and natural lubrication, tribological characterization of human tooth enamel, and finally, liposome-based carrier systems and devices used for pulmonary drug delivery. Biomaterials and medical tribology is an essential reference for materials scientists, engineers, and researchers in the field of medical tribology. The title also provides an overview for academics and clinicians in this area.

  • "This book publishes high quality articles (full research articles, review articles and cases studies) with a special emphasis on research and development in biomaterials and medical tribology and its applications. Within the book, all types of biomaterials are addressed, including metals and alloys, polymers, ceramics or composites and the relationships between biomaterials and medical tribology are discussed. Tribology is a branch of mechanical engineering that deals with the design, friction, wear and lubrication of interacting surfaces in relative motion. By extension it is usual to define medical tribology as the tribological phenomena occurring in the human body. Biomaterials as a term has no set definition, instead there are a varied selection such as 'a synthetic material used to replace part of a living system or to function in intimate contact with living tissue' or a more formal definition by Clemson University Advisory Board of 'biomaterials is a systemically and pharmacologically inert substance designed for implantation within or incorporation with living systems', which will be developed further.--"
