Effects of Hyaluronan Molecular Weight on the Lubrication of Cartilage-Emulating Boundary Layers
[Image: see text] Osteoarthritic joints contain lower-molecular-weight (MW) hyaluronan (hyaluronic acid, HA) than healthy joints. To understand the relevance of this HA size effect for joint lubrication, the friction and surface structure of cartilage-emulating surfaces with HA of different MWs were...
