Tribo-Behaviors of Biomaterials and Their Applications enables the reader to make an informed choice in the selection of biomaterials that aid the creation of safe and long-lasting surgical devices. Looking at metals, ceramics, and polymers with craniofacial, cardiovascular, spinal, dentistry, and orthopedic applications, this book is an essential guide to tribology in biomaterials. Handling wear within biodevices is a pressing issue due to the continuous friction and corrosion within the body. It is further complicated by the involvement of body fluids, which can lead to revision surgery to relieve pain. In order to lessen this, engineers can choose a biomaterial better suited to the application. Including detailed discussion of the properties of each biomaterial, this book covers the behaviors of implants, along with the methods and standards applied to devices. It has chapters on metals, ceramics, and polymers. It also covers body fluid lubrication and the physiological effects they have on implants, along with their tribo-corrosion behaviors. This book will be of interest to engineers and researchers in the field of biomechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, materials science, and manufacturing engineering, alongside all those researching tribology and nanocomposites.
