Abstract
The wettability of the articular surface of cartilage depends on the
condition of its #surface-active phospholipid overlay, which is
structured as a multi-bilayer. We examined the characteristics of this
membrane surface entity in both its normal and degenerated conditions
using a combination of atomic force #microscopy, contact angle
measurement, and friction test. The observations have led to the
conclusions that the friction coefficient is significantly dependent on
the #hydrophobicity (wettability) of the surface of the tissue, thereby
confirming the hypothesis tested in this paper.
