Soft/Hard-Coupled Amphiphilic Polymer Nanospheres for Water Lubrication

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces

Abstract

Amphiphilic polymer nanospheres of poly(3-sulfopropyl methacrylate potassium salt- co-styrene) [P(SPMA- co-St)] were prepared by a simple soap-free emulsion polymerization method and used as efficient water lubrication additives to enhance the antiwear behaviors of the Ti6Al4V alloy. The monodisperse and flexible P(SPMA- co-St) bicomponent copolymer nanospheres were synthesized with a controllable manner by adjusting the mass fraction ratio of the monomers, with the hydrophobic polystyrene (PSt) as the hard skeletal carrier component and the hydrophilic PSPMA with a hydration layer structure as the soft lubrication layer in the course of friction. The influences of the monomer concentration, the copolymer nanosphere additive content, the load, and the frequency of the friction conditions on their tribological properties were studied in detail, and a probable antiwear mechanism of the soft/hard-coupled copolymer nanospheres under water lubrication was also proposed. The results show that compared with pure PSt, the P(SPMA- co-St) polymer nanospheres exhibited better antiwear property as an additive for water lubrication, and the friction coefficient and the wear volume first decreased and then increased with the increase of the ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
