Friction Force Microscopy of Lubricin and Hyaluronic Acid between Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Surfaces.
Lubricin and hyaluronic acid (HA), molecular constituents of synovial fluid, have long been theorized to play a role in joint lubrication and wear protection. While lubricin has been shown to function as a boundary lubricant, conflicting evidence exists as to the boundary lubricating ability of hyaluronic acid. Here, we use colloidal force microscopy to explore the friction behavior of these tw...
متن کاملLateral Force Microscopy Study of the Friction between Silica Surfaces.
The friction between a single silica glass sphere and a flat silica glass surface has been investigated using lateral force microscopy. Two types of silica surface were investigated, one fully hydroxylated and the other partially dehydroxlated. These samples have markedly different wetting properties and are known as hydrophilic and hydrophobic silica, respectively. The lateral friction force a...
متن کاملFibronectin Adsorption on Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic Surfaces
Studies have been carried out on the adsorption properties of plasma fibronectin (FN) on hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces. The hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces used were nonwettable bacteriological dishes and wettable tissue culture dishes, respectively. At low plasma FN concentrations, there was more plasma FN binding to hydrophobic surfaces than to hydrophilic surfaces. Under these co...
متن کاملFriction force microscopy investigations of potassium halide surfaces in ultrahigh vacuum: structure, friction and surface modification
Friction force microscopy measurements on the vacuum-cleaved (001) surfaces of KF, KCl and KBr have been carried out. All surfaces exhibit atomically flat terraces with monatomic steps aligned preferentially along low-index lattice directions. Stick-slip lateral forces with the lattice periodicity are observed on all surfaces. Tip-sample contact creates higher friction domains on the terraces o...
متن کاملProbing Molecular Relaxation on Polymer Surfaces with Friction Force Microscopy
The scan-velocity dependence of friction force microscopy (FFM) is characterized on gelatin films and related to the rate dependence of molecular relaxations. For selected scanning-parameter values the velocity dependence of frictional force is affected by the measurement process, because of energy imparted to the tip-sample contact region: a peak in the friction-velocity relationship, attribut...
