The influence of lubricant temperature on the wear of total knee replacements
Biosurface and Biotribology, 2023 Experimental in vitro simulation can be used to predict the wear performance of total knee replacements. The in vitro simulation should aim to replicate the in vivo loading, motion and environment experienced by the joint, predicting wear and potential ...

Abrasive Wear in The Leg Joints of Insects
Advanced Materials InterfacesThe presence of wear of the joint cuticle of the beetle legs is demonstrated experimentally and is represented by abrasive wear. Presence of the abrasive wear in the natural‐habiting beetles of various families is also established.

Thermal Nitridation Deoxygenation and Biotribological Properties of Zr2.5Nb
Biosurface and BiotribologyZirconium and its alloys are considered to be materials for artificial joints because of their excellent biocompatibility. In this study, we proposed the introduction of high‐purity iron beads as external deoxidisers to inhibit the oxidation of Zr2.5Nb ...

On the use of dental microwear texture analysis to determine etiology and assess wear of dental tissues for clinical evaluation. [PDF]
Biosurf BiotribolAbstract Here, we present and synthesise some recent collaborative efforts in our laboratories to establish protocols for using dental microwear texture analysis, originally developed to reconstruct diets of fossil mammals and to aid in the clinical assessment of dental patients today. The idea is to propose a method where polyvinylsiloxane impressions,
