Joint Tribology: a Supramolecular Chemistry

EasyChair Preprint 9381

Abstract

The perceptible friction at articulating cartilage is a complex phenomenon of biomolecular digestion of interfacial TRIBO environment or superficial zone lubricin discontinuous coat. The friction stress at the mating interface is in scarcity of lubricin, imperfection of natural lubrication over joint articulation due to biomechanical degradation, and residual biomedical indicators. The healthy articulating joints provide an ultra-low friction coefficient that is relatively lesser than bionic interfaces and interphases.

Keyphrases: Heterogeneity, Synovial biomolecules, Viscoelasticity, energy balance
