چکیده
Bio-inspired lubrication has gained great interest among researchers due to the fact that there are several examples in nature where biomolecules can enhance lubrication and provide low friction and low wear properties. VTT is currently running two projects on bio-based lubrication (“New Bioinspired and Bio-based Solutions for Lubrication (NEWLUB)” and “Biomimetic Water Lubrication” (BIOWAL)) that aim to use biomolecules as lubricant additives to be used in industrial applications. Some results are very promising, but there is still lack of understanding of lubrication mechanisms.

متن کاملDeveloping Block-Movement, Physical-Model Based Objects for the Reactable
This paper reports on a Short-Term Scientific Mission (STSM) sponsored by the Sonic Interaction Design (SID) European COST Action IC601. Prototypes of objects for the novel instrument Reactable were developed, with the goal of studying sonification of movements on this platform using physical models. A physical model of frictional interactions between rubbed dry surfaces was used as an audio ge...
متن کاملRole of micronutrients and natural antioxidants in fighting against HIV; a quick mini-review
Oxidative stress has been implicated in the progression of HIV to AIDS, since HIV usually replicates in a highly oxidized condition and CD4+ T lymphocytes can be activated via a cascade of internal oxidative pathways, which enhances the formation of proteins and enzymes. Thus, antioxidants should potentially be useful for the treatment and prevention of HIV infection as a new alterna...
