Advances in Tribology of Lubricin and Lubricin-Like Synthetic Polymer Nanostructures

Articular cartilage surrounds the ends of diarthrodial joints (most common movable joints) and during motion, it experiences a wide range of loading conditions while remaining under exceedingly low-friction and wear-free conditions. This remarkable tribological performance stems from complex interac...
