    Synthesis and Characterization of Polymer-Based Wear-Resistant Bioimplants
    (CRC Press, 2024) Şarkaya, Koray; Akincioǧlu, Gülşah; Çetin, Kemal
    Tribology, which deals with the wear, lubrication, and friction of linked surfaces, is one of the most essential topics for mending and regenerating living tissues in the human body. Articular cartilage has tribological properties such as low wear rate and friction coefficient and is considered an efficient rubber surface. As a result of the pain caused by the damage to cartilage tissue, osteoarticular diseases are experienced due to functional disorders in the joints. To eliminate and repair these deformations, new methods based on living tissue implants in the case of grafts or prostheses in the case of nonliving tissue are needed. However, some disadvantages will likely be encountered in developing new procedures, such as tissue availability and reproducibility, the potential for disease transmission, size, and wear. Eventually, many further studies are carried out to change joint cartilage or develop alternative methods to optimize joint replacement—interest in new-generation polymeric systems for this need increases daily. One of the areas of increased relevance is the surgical implant. The most practical and adaptive treatment is now one that uses implants. This industry has advanced, particularly in dental implants. Polymer is one of the most valuable materials since it has properties supporting bioimplants to a great extent. Polymers and polymer composites have become one of the top priorities compared to other materials like ceramics and metals due to their corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and biocompatibility. This chapter discusses recent advancements and future trends in polymer-based bioimplants and their applications in biomedical fields. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
