2024/06 Participation in the ICTMP International Conference
, Spain

On June 26, 2024, HBRCC team attended the International Conference on Tribology in Manufacturing Processes (ICTMP) in Alcoy, Spain.

The three-day conference covered six themes: Tribology in Additive Manufacturing; Machining and Forming Processes; Modeling, Simulation, and Experimental Techniques; Environmentally Friendly Solutions; Surface Engineering and Coatings; and Advanced Lubricants.

Prof. Hsu-Wei Fang, Director of the High-Value Biomaterials Research and Commercialization Center (HBRCC), served as a keynote speaker, sharing long-term research in orthopedic, ophthalmic, and oral biology, and receiving valuable feedback.

Although the conference primarily focused on tribology and lubrication research in industrial processes, the underlying principles of biotribology are similar. The surface morphology of the two interacting interfaces and the composition of the lubricant are the main factors affecting friction and lubrication. The key difference is that the research focus shifts from conventional industrial materials to biological materials.

Distinguished Professor Hsu-Wei Fang, Director of the Center for High-Value Biomaterials Research and Commercialization, presents the center’s research findings on biotribology and lubrication in orthopedics, ophthalmology, and oral applications. 北科大高值生醫材料研究與商品化中心張宥承博士發表和中心主任-方旭偉特聘教授和蘇真瑩研究助理教授共同探討的眼科生物摩擦潤滑研究成果。

 

 

Research Assistant Prof. Chen-Ying Su presented a poster titled "Investigating the Protection of Conformational Change of Albumin by Polysaccharides in the Artificial Joint System," winning second place in the poster competition. The event fostered connections with international universities and biotech companies.
