How the behavior of tribocorrosion of biocomposites containing mollusc shell particles is affected by potential in the presence of bovine serum solution

The study used a reciprocating tribocorrosimeter to perform tribocorrosion tests on a composite material composed of different weight percentages of MS (0, 5, 10, and 15 wt% MS). The open circuit potential of the Ti6Al4V pin in contact with the biocomposite was examined, and the impact of MS loading on the coefficient of friction and wear rate was analyzed in the presence of bovine serum. The results indicated that the optimum MS content was approximately 5 wt%. Finally, the study proposed a wear scenario for the MS loading when exposed to bovine serum solution.
