Biotribology of Engineering Materials, 1st Edition, delivers a comprehensive study of surface phenomena, friction, wear, and lubrication in biological environments. Written primarily for researchers and postgraduates, this book provides a structured foundation for evaluating how synthetic materials behave when placed in contact with living tissue and body fluids.

The text concentrates on major biomedical applications where contact forces directly influence component lifespan. It addresses the tribological behavior of materials used in joint implants, dental implants, and contact lenses. By connecting physical principles to these distinct medical devices, the content enables readers to examine surface stability across varied physiological sites.

To support rigorous laboratory work, the volume investigates complex surface phenomena, including tribocorrosion and environmental degradation. It outlines formal testing and evaluation methods essential for analyzing component durability. Presenting 634 pages in paperback, this volume equips academic readers with reference material tailored to specialized research projects.
