Biotribology of Engineering Materials: Principles, Modeling, and Applications introduces readers to the tribology of materials commonly used in biomedical applications, covering their mechanical behaviors, surface modification, failure modes, modeling, and much more. Lubricants, testing, evaluation methods, coating technologies, and tribocorrosion of these materials are also discussed. Materials covered include metals, polymers, ceramics, composites, and ti-, co-, mg-, zn-, and fe-based alloys. Coverage of micro- and nano-materials is also included, as are specific biomedical applications, such as the tribological behavior of materials for joint and dental implants, dental restoration devices, and fracture fixation devices.
