Aqueous Lubrication: Natural And Biomimetic Approaches - Iisc Research Monographs Series
Nicholas Spencer
Man lubricates mostly with oil. Nature lubricates exclusively with water. Pure water is a poor lubricant, but the addition of proteins, especially glycoproteins, can modify surfaces to make them far more lubricating at slow speeds. This book brings together the research in biological and biomimetic, water-based lubrication.
