Influence of Different Counterfaces on Tribological Behaviors of Al2O3 Nanocomposites for Joint Prostheses

Alumina has been widely used in joint prostheses due to its excellent biocompatibility, wear and corrosion resistance, low friction, high mechanical strength and low cost. However, the further improvement in fracture toughness and wear resistance is required for severe activities. In this work Y-TZP...
