The poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (PMPC)-modified, silicone hydrogel, contact lens (CL) material lehfilcon A has previously been demonstrated to have a lubricious, antifouling and ultra-soft surface. This study provides confirmatory

Man lubricates mostly with oil. Nature lubricates exclusively with water. Pure water is a poor lubricant, but the addition of proteins, especially glycoproteins, can modify surfaces to make them far more lubricating at slow speeds. Understanding how

Understanding shear thickening in colloidal suspensions is of great practical importance. Hsu et al. create responsive polymer-coated silica particles whose rheology can be tuned in situ, following modifications of their tribology, which is separatel

The focus of this book is surface modification, with the goal of tailoring materials for a specific application. By means of this approach, ideal bulk properties of a material, such as its tensile strength (temperature stability, density, or even cos

A tripod molecule incorporating a C60 photocatalyst into a rigid scaffold with disulfide legs was designed and synthesized for the stable and robust attachment of C60 onto an Au-coated atomic force microscope (AFM) tip. The "tripod-C60"was immobilize

Many synthetic polymers used to form polymer-brush films feature a main backbone with functional, oligomeric side chains. While the structure of such graft polymers mimics biomacromolecules to an extent, it lacks the monodispersity and structural pur

Correlated adsorption and lubricity have been investigated using polymeric friction modifiers, specifically designed with an oleophilic brush-forming block and an anchoring block of comparable length. Through adsorption, rheology, and friction measur

The efficient and bioorthogonal chemical ligation reaction between potassium acyltrifluoroborates (KATs) and hydroxylamines (HAs) was used for the surface functionalization of a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) with biomolecules. An alkane thioether mo

Hydrophilic polymer brushes constitute a man-made approach to imitating nature’s lubrication mechanisms. A polymer that has been frequently used to explore such systems is poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). While PEG may not be the ideal solution for wat
