A Biomimetic Lubricant Captures Hyaluronic Acid In Situ to Regenerate Cartilage: From Bench to Bedside

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
(a) The outstanding lubricative properties of natural articular cartilage arise from a composite coating composed of HA, lubricin, and phospholipids at its surface. Notably, lubricin facilitates the enrichment of synovial HA onto cartilage surfaces, and HA complexes with phospholipids, a key component to maintain extremely low friction under high ...

Understanding the friction mechanisms between the human finger and flat contacting surfaces in moist conditions

open access: yes, 2010
Human hands sweat in different circumstances and the presence of sweat can alter the friction between the hand and contacting surface. It is, therefore, important to understand how hand moisture varies between people, during different activities and the ...

Non-equilibrium Statistical Approach to Friction Models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A geometric approach to the friction phenomena is presented. It is based on the holographic view which has recently been popular in the theoretical physics community. We see the system in one-dimension-higher space.

A multi-contact model to study the dynamic stick-slip and creep in mechanical frictional pair

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2020
The original Iwan-type model is always based on the quasi-static assumption, which neglects the dynamic properties of the frictional interface. In this paper, A Iwan-type multi-contact model is established to study dynamic stick-slip and creep in ...

Stabilizing Atomically Dispersed Au With Adjacent Pt for Spatially Precise Molecule Recognition

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A strategy to stabilize atomically dispersed Au catalysts by introducing Pt atoms into CeO2 supports is presented. Pt incorporation prevents Au aggregation, enhances Au‐O orbital coupling, and enables precise recognition of multi‐functionalized molecules, improving catalytic performance and the structural stability of Au‐based catalysts in ...

Robust and Thermally Stable Silicone Aerogels with Hyperconnected Network via Kinetically Optimized Hyperbranched Silane Precursors

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Reactivity‐Programmed Assembly: A kinetic‐control strategy is reported for constructing hyperconnected silicone aerogels with a robust “thick‐neck” architecture. By exploiting the reactivity disparity of precursors, flexible segments are uniformly embedded within a rigid skeleton.

Finite element based surface roughness study for ohmic contact of microswitches [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Finite element method (FEM) is used to model ohmic contact in microswitches. A determinist approach is adopted, including atomic force microscope (AFM) scanning real contact surfaces and generating rough surfaces with three-dimensional mesh.
