Original research papers, for oral or poster presentation, are invited for the following areas:

There are only a few days left to submit your paper, if you would like your research to feature at the 4th International Conference on the Mechanics of Biomaterials and Tissues. Please go to the Abstract Submission page and register first, then upload your abstract. You will need the following information:

Dr Pat Campbell, Director of the Implant Retrieval Laboratory Los Angeles Orthopaedic Hospital, will be giving a Keynote Lecture at the ICoBT Imperial College London 18-21 September.  

The topic of her keynote will be implant retrieval analysis as a tool to investigate and solve clinical problems.  Metal-on-metal hip premature failure and revision is the focus of intense interest and controversy at present. 

Original research papers, for oral or poster presentation, are invited for the following areas:

Please check out the oral program for WOM 2011 at www.wom-conference.elsevier.com

Eurotel Victoria, Les Diablerets, Switzerland 11-15 September 2011

For more information, go to www.tc4pca.elsevier.com

Themes covered include

• orthopaedic surgery
• dentistry
• biomechanics
• biomaterials
• cosmetic chemistry
• biophysics
• biomimetics

The topic of research must include a biological surface as part of the interface (eg articular cartilage, skin), have a direct impact on biological function (eg prosthetic joints, dental implants), or involve the implementation of natural lubrication in man-made systems (biomimetics).

We are inviting authors to submit 300 words abstract for oral and poster presentation at the conference. New developments and innovative applications are especially welcome in the following subject areas:

This will be the 6th International Conference in the series organised by the European Structural Integrity Society - Technical Committee 4 on Fracture Mechanics related to Polymers, Polymeric Composites and Adhesives. We are again inviting papers in the areas reflecting the current and future interests of TC4 as listed below.

Both experimental and analytical work is sought in order to give a balanced view of the subject areas:

ICoBT 2011 is a new conference which will be held at Imperial College London from 18-21 September 2011. Contributions are welcomed from scientists, engineers and clinicians working in the fields of orthopaedic surgery, dentistry, biomechanics, biomaterials, cosmetic chemistry, biophysics and biomimetics. Abstract submissions are now open!
