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.

Biotribology of artificial hip joints
World Journal of Orthopedics, 2015 Hip arthroplasty can be considered one of the major successes of orthopedic surgery, with more than 350000 replacements performed every year in the United States with a constantly increasing rate. The main limitations to the lifespan of these devices are due to tribological aspects, in particular the wear of mating surfaces, which implies a loss of ...

Michromechanics in biogenic hydrated silica: hinges and interocking devices in diatoms. [PDF]
, 2006 Diatoms are single-celled organisms with rigid parts in relative motion at the micrometrescale and below. These biogenic hydrated silica structures have elaborate shapes, interlocking devices, and, in some cases, hinged structures.

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 ...

EFFECT OF HYALURONIC ACID MOLECULAR WEIGHT ON FRICTION OF ARTICULAR CARTILAGE [PDF]
Proceedings on Engineering Sciences, 2019 Hyaluronic acid (HA) is among others one of the component of synovial fluid (SF) and is the main component which affects the rheology of SF. However, during various degenerative joint diseases like osteoarthritis, the concentration and molecular weight ...
