    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 orthopaedic applications, the 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, the book covers the behaviours 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 tribocorrosion behaviours. 

    The 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.
