Thermodynamics of amphiphilic substrates in tribological domain

Abstract

The advancement of biomaterials engineering for designing and manufacturing biocompatible materials has witnessed a hundred billion dollars in global economic inputs. The effective control of friction, lubrication, and wear in the biomechanical domain is rational in tribology applications for bioengineering. The aging, work-life imbalance, environmental load, and diversity of biology degrade biological membrane tribology for placing a biomedical shield as per the requirement of sustainability in daily life. Energy metabolism, human thermodynamics, net mechanical efficiency, and negative energy balance are underlying factors for promoting harmony at the tribological interface.
