Recent Developments in Biotribology
2021The significance of biotribology in biological systems is highlighted. The recent advances in lubrication characteristics of artificial joints, biotribological characteristics of textured surfaces, and tribological characteristics of implants for significant friction and wear reduction are elaborated. Further outlooks in the development of biotribology

Biotribology inspires new technologies
Nano Today, 2007This review deals with natural biotribological systems and how they have inspired novel micro- and nanotechnological applications. The biogenic devices presented here have functional units in the micro- and nanometer regime and have been evolutionarily optimized over millions of years.

Biotribology of Medical Implants
2017Abstract The human internal environment plays a vital role in the friction and wear of implants and prosthetic devices. This article describes the tribological/wear behavior of implants. It discusses the classification of active tribological pairs, namely, amphiarthosis joints and diarthosis joints. The article details the classification

Biotribological Behavior of Boronized Tungsten
World Tribology Congress III, Volume 2, 2005Boronized tungsten is one of the potential biomaterials due to its high corrosion resistance, and high strength. Present investigation encompasses the wear behavior of this material in dry condition as well as in simulated body fluid (SBF). The pin-on-disc reciprocating tribometer was utilized to conduct the wear tests.

Biotribology and Human Tribology
2013In biotribology and human tribology, tribological theories are applied to biological systems and human interactions, respectively. This chapter focuses on the human tribology fields, slip and fall accidents and hand-object interaction, and the biotribology fields, ocular and oral tribology. Slip and fall accidents are caused by low friction between the

Introduction to biotribology: Animal locomotion
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part J: Journal of Engineering Tribology, 2006Limbs of vertebrate animals have synovial joints. Many arthropod joints and the hinges of bivalve molluscs owe their mobility to components that bend, rather than to surfaces that slide over each other. No lubrication systems have been described for the few sliding surfaces in invertebrate joints.
