Medical tribology can be defined as the science of tribological phenomena in the human body, both those that naturally occur in the tissues or organs and those that arise after implantation of an artificial device, while biomaterials are inert substances designed to be incorporated into living systems. Biomaterials and medical tribology brings together a collection of high quality articles and case studies focussing on new research and developments in these two important fields.The book provides details of the different types of biomaterial available and their applications, including nanoparticles for biomedical applications, synergism effects during fiction and fretting corrosion experiments, application of biomedical-grade titanium alloys in trabecular bone and artificial joints, fatigue strengthening of an orthopaedic Ti6AI4V alloy, wear determination on retrieved metal-on-metal hip arthoplasty, natural articular joints, the importance of bearing porosity in engineering and natural lubrication, tribological characterization of human tooth enamel, and finally, liposome-based carrier systems and devices used for pulmonary drug delivery.Biomaterials and medical tribology is an essential reference for materials scientists, engineers, and researchers in the field of medical tribology. The title also provides an overview for academics and clinicians in this area.

*Jean Geringer obtained a Master’s degree with honors from Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Toulouse-France in 1997. After working in secondary schools as a professor, he earned the ‘Agrégation’ of physics and chemistry, the highest-rated competitive academic examination in the French system in 2001. He studied as a PhD student till 2005. He held the position of assistant professor at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Saint-Etienne-France in 2006. He is now visiting scholar at Penn State University, USA. He is working on biomaterials for orthopedic implants with specific emphasis on fretting corrosion of 316L involved in the lifetime of hip implants. Understanding of synergistic effects occurring during fretting corrosion is the major focus of his research activity.

M. Mathew is working as an instructor in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago. He has other appointments in the Dental School and Bioengineering, University of Illinois, Chicago. He has a BSc in Mechanical Engineering and holds a doctoral degree from the University of Strathclyde (2005). His postdoctoral experience was at the University of Minho, Portugal during 2005–2008, before joining Rush University. His main areas of research are electrochemistry, tribocorrosion and wear/corrosion synergism aspects of implants in orthopedics and dentistry. As the behavior of a metal implant in a body environment is a complex issue, the objective of this research is to find an optimum solution related to longevity, biocompatibility and stability by adopting an interdisciplinary approach.

M. Wimmer received his Diploma in Engineering from the Technical University of Munich, after completing 5 years of studies in Mechanics and Materials Science.
