An overview of functional biolubricants
Friction, 2022 AbstractAt present, more and more diseases are associated with the lubrication dysfunction, which requires a systematic study of the complex lubrication behavior of tissues and organs in human body. Natural biomacromolecular lubricants are essential for maintaining ultra-low coefficients of friction between sliding biological interfaces.
