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!

Although this is one of the most exciting research areas in Tribology, there is at present no dedicated Biotribology Conference. Biotribology embraces a wide range of research topics from artificial joint, implants, to hair conditioners and soft-tissue friction.
