1. 1. Synovial fluid components as synergistic lubricants in articular joint models

   University essay from KTH/Kemi

   Author : Sixuan Li; [2019]
   Keywords : synergistic lubrication; synovial fluid; biolubrication; DPPC; hyaluronic acid; Mini-Traction Machine; macro- and microscale; profilometer;

   Abstract : The excellent lubrication present within mammalian synovial joints attracted scientific interest, and some close-to-realistic models were applied to study the mechanism in vitro. In this project, the synergistic lubrication of synovial fluid was investigated by using 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC), hyaluronic acid (HA), and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS buffer) to mimic the synovial fluid.

   Keywords : Graphene; Lubrication; triborheometer; 4-ball tribometer; Mini Traction Machine; friction reduction; wear reduction; Grafen Smörjning; triborometer; 4-kuletribometer; mini-traktionsmaskin; friktionsminskning; nötningsreduktion;

   Abstract : The possible use of graphene and its derivatives dissolved in water as a green lubricant is an interesting avenue of research from tribological perspective. In this study, a highly concentrated stock solution of aqueous Graphene employing Polyethylene Glycol(PEG) as surfactant was diluted using proportionate volumes of De-Ionized (D.I. READ MORE
