5. Influences of Synovia Constituents on Frictional Behavior of Artificial Cartilage Material and Formation of Boundary Lubricating Film
Frictional behavior of poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) hydrogel as artificial articular cartilage was examined in reciprocating motion in lubricants that contain albumin, gamma-globulin, L-alpha dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and hyaluronic acid (HA). Influences of synovia constituents on forming boundary film and boundary lubrication ability for PVA hydrogel were investigated by in situ fluorescent observation on forming boundary film, atomic force microscopy and infrared spectroscopy. Under the coexistence of proteins and DPPC, DPPC contributed to reduce friction of PVA hydrogel. Albumin-DPPC composite film and smooth film formed by DPPC especially reduced friction. When HA and DPPC coexist in the lubricants, HA-DPPC composite film with micron-ordered pattern was formed and it reduced friction remarkably. Through the researches on the influences of synovia constituents on boundary lubricating ability for PVA hydrogel, it was shown that albumin and DPPC function as low shearing resistance components in boundary film and gamma-globulin has ability to stabilize boundary film and enhances the formation of boundary film. HA has high ability of water retention and plays a part in reduction of friction and enhancement of forming boundary film that has the characteristics of gel-like layer..

In addition, the adsorption of hyaluronic acid (HA) on rubbed surface was also observed. It was found that the forming of bottom layer of protein boundary film mainly composed of gamma-globulin is a key factor to form a stable boundary film and the friction-induced enhancement of forming protein boundary film occurred in appropriate lubricant. In addition, the adsorption of HA on rubbed surface was enhanced by coexistence with gamma-globulin and frictional action. It was indicated that a gel-like film is formed due to the introduction of hydrophilic HA molecules into boundary film and it contributes to reduce friction. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
