This review summarizes recent advances in the area of tribology based on the outcome of a
Lorentz Center workshop surveying various physical, chemical and mechanical phenomena …

The tribological performance of artificial hip joints is a critical issue for their success,
because adverse tissue reaction to wear debris causes loosening and failure. Many studies …

ABSTRACT A living and non-living material bodies exhibit several arthritis problems, friction
etc. So one can control the friction by hydrodynamic principle. Simply lubrication method by …

Synovial fluids are complex fluids responsible for the exceptional lubrication present in
synovial joints. These fluids consist of various constituents, including hyaluronic acid …

A strategy used to reduce wear of the ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)
component of orthopedic joint implants has been to coat the metallic part with a hard …

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings deposited on the articulating surfaces of total hip or
knee arthroplasties have the potential to enhance the overall biotribological behavior and …

Superior surface characteristics, tribological performance and adhesion strength are critical
for DLC coated surface in hip implant. Incorporating laser surface texturing and heat …

Friction and wear behavior of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) sliding
against TiAl6V4 alloy, against AISI316L austenitic stainless steel and against Al 2 O 3 …

Wear of articulated surfaces can be a major lifetime-limiting factor in arthroplasty. In the
natural joint, lubrication is effected by the body's natural synovial fluid. Following …

Friction and wear behavior of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) sliding
against AISI420C austenitic stainless steel and against TiAl6V4 alloy under dry and …
