Tribology is the multidisciplinary science and engineering of interacting surfaces in relative motion. It includes the study of friction, wear, and lubrication. Research in tribology is often highly dependent on the final application and plays a crucial role in understanding and controlling friction and wear in various mechanical systems and materials. Biotribology plays an important role in many aspects of our everyday life, from the functioning of articular joints and the comfort of contact lenses to the behavior of cells, skin, hair, and our food perception. Tribology and Biotribology are multidisciplinary fields that combine mechanics, materials, surface physics, biology, and medicine. The aim of the TriBio conference is to bring together Israeli researchers and Industry professionals from across the engineering, scientific, and clinical spectrums to promote communication across the different disciplines and to provide a platform for presenting new developments within a single meeting focused exclusively on tribology and biotribology.
