Healthy articular cartilage, covering the ends of bones in major joints such as hips and
knees, presents the most efficiently‐lubricated surface known in nature, with friction …

Osteoarthritis (OA), is a common musculoskeletal disorder that will progressively increase in
older populations and is expected to be the most dominant cause of disability in the world …

Development of smart, multifunction materials is challenging but important for many
fundamental and industrial applications. Here, we synthesized and characterized …

In this review, we discuss the concept of bioinspired lubrication using novel polymeric
structures, which has led to producing a myriad of new systems with effective and …

Molecular architectures known as bottlebrush polymers provide unique opportunities to tune
the structure and properties of soft materials with applications ranging from rubbers to thin …

This review outlines the up‐to‐date research progress on controllable interfacial friction on
both solid/solid and solid/liquid surfaces. Environment‐sensitive materials at a frictional …

Controlling (bio-) adhesion and friction is essential in many bio-medical and industrial
applications. Such control can be achieved using stimulus responsive polymers. Coatings …

The bending energy of the lipid membrane is central to biological processes involving
vesicles, such as endocytosis and exocytosis. To illustrate the role of bending energy in …

Developing highly efficient and biocompatible biolubricants for arthritis treatment is
extraordinarily demanded. Herein, inspired by the efficient lubrication of synovial joints, a …

The molecular mechanisms for aqueous boundary lubrication are very different from those in
the classic boundary lubrication, originating from the fluidity of the hydration shells …
