During their service life, most biomaterials and medical implants are vulnerable to tribological damage. In addition, the environments in which they are placed are often corrosive. The combination of triobology, corrosion and the biological environment has been named ‘bio-tribocorrosion’. Understanding this complex phenomenon is critical to improving the design and service life of medical implants. This important book reviews key recent research in this area. After an introduction to the topography of bio-tribocorrosion, part one discusses different types of tribocorrosion as well as the prediction of wear in medical devices. Part two looks at biological effects on tribocorrosion processes. Part three reviews the issue of bio-tribocrrosion in clinical practice, including dental and orthopaedic applications.
