Tribological characterization of lubricating polymers on different biomedical surfaces
Supervisor: Xavier Banquy
The project aims to explore the use of hybrid materials, i.e. a material composed of a nanosuspension and a gelling polymer, as lubricating materials for biomedical applications. The formulations developed are tested in different biomechanical contexts such as eye and joint lubrication as well as ceramic and metallic surfaces protection.
Keywords: Tribology, lubricating polymer, friction
Techniques: Surface Force Apparatus (SFA), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)
