  • Phytoglycogen nanoparticles : nature-derived superlubricants 

    Adibnia, Vahid; Ma, Yingshan; Halimi, Ilias; Walker, Gilbert C.; Banquy, Xavier; Kumacheva, Eugenia (American Chemical Society, 2021-05-07)
    Phytoglycogen nanoparticles (PhG NPs), a single-molecule highly branched polysaccharide, exhibit excellent water retention, due to the abundance of close-packed hydroxyl groups forming hydrogen bonds with water. Here we report lubrication properties ...

  • 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 ...
