Polymer brush in articular cartilage lubrication: Nanoscale modelling and simulation
Human knee joints move smoothly under high load conditions due to articular cartilage and synovial fluid. Much attention is paid to the role of proteoglycans. It is suggested that a part of proteoglycan forms aggregate on the cartilage surface, making a polymer brush, which has an important role in...
