This book covers the area of tribology broadly, providing important introductory chapters to fundamentals, processing, and applications of tribology. The book is designed primarily for easy and cohesive understanding for students and practicing scientists pursuing the area of tribology with focus on materials. This book helps students and practicing scientists alike understand that a comprehensive knowledge about the friction and wear properties of advanced materials is essential to further design and development of new materials.

The description of the wear micromechanisms of various materials will provide a strong background to the readers as how to design and develop new tribological materials. This book also places importance on the development of new ceramic composites in the context of tribological applications.

Some of the key features of the book include: Fundamentals section highlights the salient issues of ceramic processing and mechanical properties of important oxide and non-oxide ceramic systems; State of the art research findings on important ceramic composites are included and an understanding on the behavior of silicon carbide (SiC) based ceramic composites in dry sliding wear conditions is presented as a case study; Erosion wear behavior of ceramics, in which case studies on high temperature erosion behavior of SiC based composites and zirconium diboride (ZrB2) based composites is also covered; Wear behavior of ceramic coatings is rarely discussed in any tribology related books therefore a case study explaining the abrasion wear behavior of WC-Co coating is provided. Finally an appendix chapter is included in which a collection of several types of questions including multiple choice, short answer and long answer are provided.

This book covers the basics of the biomaterials science its applications to bone tissue engineering. The introductory section describes the most necessary concepts and techniques related to the cell and molecular biology with a particular focus on evaluating the biocompatibility property. The layout of this book facilitates easier understanding of the area of bone tissue engineering. The book integrates the Materials Science and Biological Science. It covers processing and basic material properties of various biocompatible metals and ceramics-based materials, in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility and toxicity assessment in the context of bone tissue engineering, and  processing and properties of metal-, ceramic- and polymer-based biocomposites, including the fabrication of porous scaffold materials.  The book can be used as a textbook for  senior undergraduate and graduate coursework. It will also be a useful reference for researchers and professionals working in thearea.

Biomaterials as a research theme is highly socially relevant with impactful applications in

human healthcare. In this context, this book provides a state-of-the-art perspective on

biomaterials research in India and globally. It presents a sketch of the Indian landscape

against the backdrop of the international developments in biomaterials research.

Furthermore, this book presents highlights from major global institutes of importance,

bedside. It also presents valuable information to those interested in existing issues

pertaining to developing the biomaterials research ecosystem in developing countries.

The contents also serve to inspire and educate young researchers and students to take up

research challenges in the areas of biomaterials, biomedical implants, and regenerative

medicine. With key recommendations for developing frontier research andpolicy, it

also speaks to science administrators, policymakers, industry experts, and entrepreneurs on
