Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

Summarizing our results, we have determined how the friction between biological surfaces depends on normal load and interlayer spacing, and we propose a heuristic expression describing the crossover from hydrodynamic friction to hydration lubrication. Furthermore, we have studied how the surface chemistry, including surface charge and polarity, as well as the presence of ions affect the structure of the interfacial layer. Finally, we have developed an analytical continuum model capable of extracting the interfacial viscosity, which is an important parameter appearing in the heuristic theory of hydration lubrication, from standard electrokinetic experiments.
