Session 2: Bio-Tribology
Location: Marco C (Orlando Airport Marriott)
(Please check final room assignments on-site).
Session Description: Bio-tribology is the science of friction, wear, and lubrication of biomaterials. The bio-tribology session will focus on issues such as the wear of biomaterials, modeling of total knee replacements, engineered surfaces of artificial joints, replacement joint materials, and the application of bio-coatings using lasers. Keynote papers on aspects of bio-tribology and surface engineering are highlighted in this session.
