Abstract Around 1,000 peer-reviewed papers were selected from 3,450 articles published
during 2020–2021, and reviewed as the representative advances in tribology research …

Synovial fluids are complex fluids responsible for the exceptional lubrication present in
synovial joints. These fluids consist of various constituents, including hyaluronic acid …

Synovial fluid is a non-Newtonian substance that lubricates the space between the
diarthrodial joints produced by the synovial membrane. The properties pertaining to the …

The present paper explores the effect of viscosupplementation on the friction of articular
cartilage depending on the rheology of viscosupplements. The experiments were realized …

Irritation of the eye in the case of contact lens users may imply dry eye syndrome (DES),
commonly treated by eye drops. The paper focuses on measuring the friction coefficient with …

Osteoarthritis is a joint disease characterized by progressive damage to the cartilage. For a
long time, viscosupplements have been based on hyaluronic acid (HA), which is known to …

A properly lubricated natural synovial joint is the basis of the proper function of the natural
musculoskeletal system to lead an active and painless life. A properly lubricated natural …

Additive manufacturing is a progressive method in endoprosthetics enabling customisation
of implants. However, the challenge is to design articulating surfaces that are wear resistant …

The friction coefficient of articular cartilage (AC) is very low. A method of producing tailor-
made materials with even similar lubrication properties is still a challenge. The …

The rheological properties of synovial fluid and hyaluronate (HA) solutions have been
studied using a variety of viscometers and rheometers. These devices measure the viscosity …
