Recent advances in ocular lubrication
J Zhang, Y Su, J Wu, H Wang - Friction, 2024 - Springer
The ocular lubrication, where the eyelid constantly slides on the curved corneal surface, is
considered as one of primary lubrication systems in bio-tribology. Under reliable lubrication …

Improved Comonomer Reactivity Enhances Optical Clarity and Mechanical Properties of pH-Independent Synthetic and Mucin-Cross-Linked Boronic Acid Hydrogels
Boronate esters are formed from the complexation between boronic acids and cis-diols and
are widely used as cross-links in self-healing hydrogels. Boronate esters are typically …
