Biotribology at 91ÌÒÉ« College

Biotribology plays an important role in many aspects of our everyday life from artificial joint implants and 'mouth-feel' of food texture to hair conditioners and contact lens comfort. It is a multidisciplinary field which includes aspects of biology, surface physics, materials, chemistry, biomechanics and mechanical engineering.

The Biotribology group was established in 2007, with a focus on implant tribology, articular cartilage damage mechanisms and soft contact lubrication.
