The occurrence of osteoarthritis (OA) is highly associated with the reduced lubrication
property of the joint, where a progressive and irreversible damage of the articular cartilage …

Introduction With the advancement of joint replacements such as total hip replacement
(THR), Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are widely used as implant materials. The bearing surface …

Corticosteroid use has been implicated in the development of osteonecrosis of the femoral
head (ONFH). The exact mechanism and predisposing factors such as age, gender, dosage …

Fretting wear behavior of CuNiAl against 42CrMo4 was investigated under different
lubrication conditions with the flat on flat contact configuration. In oil, filtered water and …

Titanium and its alloys have long been used as implantable biomaterials in orthopedics;
however, to the best of our knowledge, few studies were reported to investigate surface …

Nanofibrous materials produced by electrospinning have attracted considerable attention
from researchers in regenerative medicine. A combination of nanofibrous scaffold and …

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a severe disease caused by wear and inflammation of joints. In this
study, phospholipid-coated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs@ lip) were prepared in …

Many wear failures are caused by a combination of fretting wear and sliding wear. In this
study, the torsional fretting and torsional sliding wear properties of CuNiAl against 42CrMo4 …

Background Debonding of the stem–cement interface occurs inevitably in-vivo under
physiological loading, and pseudo-synovial fluid is subsequently pumped into this interface …

Torsional fretting exists in many engineering applications and the contact configurations
have great effects on the fretting wear behavior. Influence of angular displacement …
