Abstract: Partial joint repair is a surgical procedure where an artificial material is used to replace localised chondral damage. These artificial bearing surfaces must articulate against cartilage, but current materials do not replicate both the biphasic… read more here.

Abstract: We recently reported a new molecular heterocyclic friction modifier (FM) that exhibits excellent friction and wear reduction in the boundary lubrication regime. This paper explores the mechanisms by which friction reduction occurs with heterocyclic alkyl-cyclen… read more here.
