  • 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 ...

  • Wear protection without surface modification using a synergistic mixture of molecular brushes and linear polymers 

    Faivre, Jimmy; Shrestha, Buddha R.; Burdynska, Joanna; Xie, Guojun; Moldovan, Florina; Delair, Thierry; Benayoun, Stéphane; David, Laurent; Matyjaszewski, Krzysztof; Banquy, Xavier (American Chemical Society, 2017-01-10)
    We describe the design of lubricating and wear protecting fluids based on mixtures of bottlebrushes (BB) and linear polymers solutions. To illustrate this concept we used hyaluronic acid (HA) - a naturally occurring linear polyelectrolyte, and a water ...
