Special Issue on Orthopedics and Biotribology
Journal of Tribology
Recent advances in surface engineering, biomimicking technologies, and novel materials present unparalleled opportunities to address challenges such as enhanced lubrication in biological environments, antimicrobial resistance, and the development of next-generation prosthetics.
This special issue of the ASME Journal of Tribology invites high-quality original research articles and reviews exploring the multifaceted interactions of friction, wear, and lubrication in biological, orthopedic (joints), and biomedical systems.
