Nano Zinc Borate as a Lubricant Additive [PDF]

Journal of the Turkish Chemical Society, Section A: Chemistry, 2017
Lubricants consist of base oils and chemical additives such as dispersants, surfactants, oxidation inhibitors, and antiwear agents. Organic and inorganic boron-based additives increase wear resistance and decreases friction. Hexagonal boron nitride and metal borates are used for this purpose. Zinc borate is a synthetic hydrated metal borate.

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Cellular Responses to Mechanical Cues Across Scales: From Fundamental Insights to Translational Potential

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...
