“Tribology of biomaterials is a complex field that involves the interplay of various factors, such as the properties of the biomaterials, the nature of the surrounding tissue, and the lubrication conditions,” he said.

Prof. Sehgal said researchers in the field of tribology of biomaterials use a range of techniques to investigate these factors, including wear testing, surface analysis, and computational modeling.

“By gaining a better understanding of the tribological behavior of biomaterials, researchers can design and develop more effective and durable biomedical devices,” he said.

” It plays a very important role in improving the design and making successful biomaterials for medical purposes. Joints of the human body, such as hip, knee, jaw, dental parts etc,” Prof. Sehgal said.
