Bioinspired microstructures of chitosan hydrogel provide enhanced wear protection
Faivre, Jimmy; Sudre, Guillaume; Montembault, Alexandra; Benayoun, Stéphane; Banquy, Xavier; Delair, Thierry; David, Laurent (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-02-16)We describe the fabrication of physical chitosan hydrogels exhibiting a layered structure. This bilayered structure, as shown by SEM and confocal microscopy, is composed of a thin dense superficial zone (SZ), covering a deeper zone (DZ) containing ... -
Intermolecular interactions between Bottlebrush Polymers boost the protection of surfaces against frictional wear
Faivre, Jimmy; Shrestha, Buddha R.; Xie, Guojun; Olszewski, Mateusz; Adibnia, Vahid; Moldovan, Florina; Montembault, Alexandra; Sudre, Guillaume; Delair, Thierry; David, Laurent; Matyjaszewski, Krzysztof; Banquy, Xavier (ACS Publications, 2018-05-30)Polymers exhibiting the bottlebrush (BB) architecture have excellent lubricating properties. However, to motivate their use in real life systems, they must also protect surfaces against frictional damage. In this article, we synthesized a library of ... -
Lubrication and wear protection of micro-structured hydrogels using bioinspired fluids
Faivre, Jimmy; Montembault, Alexandra; Sudre, Guillaume; Shrestha, Buddha R.; Xie, Guojun; Matyjaszewski, Krzysztof; Benayoun, Stéphane; Banquy, Xavier; Delair, Thierry; David, Laurent (American Chemical Society, 2018-11-21)We report the fabrication and the use of a bioinspired synovial fluid acting as a lubricant fluid and anti-wear agent at soft and porous chitosan hydrogel tribopairs. This synthetic synovial fluid is composed of sodium hyaluronate (HA) and a bottle-brush ...
