Lubrication at physiological pressures by polyzwitterionic brushes
Meng Chen,Wuge H. Briscoe,Steven P. Armes,Steven P. Armes,Steven P. Armes,Jacob Klein,Jacob Klein,Jacob Klein +7 more
TL;DR: It is found that surfaces in water bearing polyzwitterionic brushes that were polymerized directly from the surface can have μ values as low as 0.0004, which is attributed primarily to the strong hydration of the phosphorylcholine-like monomers that make up the robustly attached brushes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural and bioinspired nanostructured bactericidal surfaces
TL;DR: A brief overview of the bactericidal behaviour of naturally occurring and bio-inspired nanostructured surfaces against different bacteria through the physico-mechanical rupture of the cell wall is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Boundary lubrication under water
Wuge H. Briscoe,Simon Titmuss,Fredrik Tiberg,Fredrik Tiberg,Robert Thomas,Duncan J. McGillivray,Duncan J. McGillivray,Jacob Klein,Jacob Klein +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the frictional stress between two sliding surfaces bearing surfactant monolayers may decrease, when immersed in water, to as little as one per cent or less of its value in air (or oil).
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding nanoparticle cellular entry: A physicochemical perspective
TL;DR: It is suggested that the energetic process of NP cellular entry can be evaluated by studying the effects of NPs on lipid mesophase transitions, as the molecular deformations and thus the elastic energy cost are analogous between such transitions and endocytosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
PAMAM dendrimer - cell membrane interactions.
TL;DR: In this review, biomedical applications of polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers and some related cytotoxicity studies are outlined and the physical insights from these studies are discussed to shed light on the fundamental understanding of PAMAM d endrimer-cell membrane interactions.
