lubricate

As a lubricative and protective secretion, acidic glycoproteins were associated with protection of epithelial damage against the high acidic gastric juices.

HinderRUST's corrosion preventive and lubricative elements can also be applied to switch gears, drive chains, ball bearings and even submersible pumps.

Surface modification of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is of interest as this polymer substrate is one of the most important, amongst engineering fluoropolymers, well known for its physical and chemical inertness [1], These properties dictate use of drastic chemical and physical means for achieving the surface modification [2-5], Therefore, most of the surface modifications on PTFE are done using plasma treatment to bring in new functionalities like hydrophilicity, hydrophobicity, biocompatibility, conductivity, lubricative, and adhesive properties.

candidate, measured the tissue and found the lubricative property and compressive strength--the two most important functional properties of the tissue-engineered cartilage--approached those of natural human cartilage.

Colleagues helped perform measurements showing that the lubricative property and compressive strength--the two important functional properties--of the tissue-engineered cartilage approached those of native cartilage.

Gerard Ateshian, Andrew Walz Professor of Mechanical Engineering, professor of biomedical engineering, and chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and his PhD student, Sevan Oungoulian, helped perform measurements showing that the lubricative property and compressive strength-the two important functional properties-of the tissue-engineered cartilage approached those of native cartilage.

One reason for that may be that the oxidation rate depends on the grain size, i.e., fine grains with higher boundary area are more easily oxidized, thus providing more lubricative contact [12,13].

It is possible that lysozyme makes the tear flow lubricative without aggregation through the stenotic nasolacrimal pathway and inhibits stone growth on the matrix.

Owing to its economy, speed of operation, and ability to afford excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance, adhesion, and lubricative properties, it plays a significant role in the automobile process and appliance industries.
