Design and Experimental Radiographic Evaluation of Levitation‐Inspired Magnetically Assisted Knee Exoskeleton Model (L_IMِAEKE) for Primary Knee Osteoarthritis

Biosurface and Biotribology, Volume 12, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
ABSTRACT Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a degenerative joint condition, which is characterised by progressive loss of cartilage, joint space narrowing and increased mechanical loading during daily activities. The progression of KOA may be due to several factors: age, overweight, repetitive physical stress and prolonged mechanical overloading of the knee ...

Ti3C2T x ‐UHMWPE Nanocomposites—Towards an Enhanced Wear‐Resistance of Biomedical Implants

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2025.
Polymeric biomedical materials, notably UHMWPE in load‐bearing joints, lack optimal mechanical and biotribological properties. This study aims to enhance Ti3C2T x ‐UHMWPE nanocomposites, improving mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and biotribological performance. Tests reveal no adverse effects on hardness, elasticity, or cytotoxicity.

Influence of Neutral and Cationic Phytoglycogen Nanoparticles on Cartilage and Ocular Lubrication

Biosurface and Biotribology, Volume 11, Issue 1, January/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Compromised hydration and biolubrication leads to untreatable disorders like osteoarthritis (OA), dry eye disease (DED) and dry mouth disease (xerostomia). Only symptomatic treatment is possible through bioactive molecules. This study aims to investigate the biolubrication properties of natural and modified phytoglycogen nanoparticles (PGNPs ...

Finger pad friction and tactile perception of laser treated, stamped and cold rolled micro-structured stainless steel sheet surfaces

Friction, 2017
Tactile perception is a complex system, which depends on frictional interactions between skin and counter-body. The contact mechanics of tactile friction is governed by many factors such as the state and properties of skin and counter-body.
