Frictional Properties of Biomimetic Micro-Hexagonal-Textured Surfaces Interacting with Soft Counterfaces under Dry and Wet Conditions
Biomimetic micro-hexagonal-textured surfaces have sparked interest in their application in fields that demand high friction and adhesion, such as micro-robotics and biomedicine. Despite extensive research conducted on this specific microstructure, its friction behavior against soft counterfaces remains a topic that has not been fully investigated yet. This study examines how micro-hexagon textures behave when they […]
Experimental Evaluation of the Tribological Properties of Rigid Gas-Permeable Contact Lens Under Different Lubricants
Myopia patients wear rigid gas-permeable contact lenses during the day to achieve normal vision, but they might feel uncomfortable, since they are made of hard materials that can cause inappropriate friction and adhesion. These forces affect the biological tissues of the cornea and eyelid. The friction coefficient of the artificial tear solution was the highest: […]
