Biomaterials that are used in biological systems, such as polycarbonate urethane (PCU) knee joint implants and contact lenses, generally lack lubrication. This limits their integration with the body impedes function. Here, we propose a nanostructured film based on hydrophilic polysaccharide hyaluronic acid conjugated dopamine (HADN) zwitterionic reduced glutathione (Glu), which forms composite ...
