{"product_id":"liquid-crystals-in-biotribology-sergey-ermakov-9783319203485","title":"Liquid Crystals in Biotribology: Synovial Joint Treatment","description":"This book summarizes the theoretical and experimental studies confirming the concept of the liquid-crystalline nature of boundary lubrication in synovial joints. It is shown that cholesteric liquid crystals in the synovial liquid play a significant role in the mechanism of intra-articular friction reduction. The results of structural, rheological and tribological research of the creation of artificial synovial liquids containing cholesteric liquid crystals in natural synovial liquids are described. These liquid crystals reproduce the lubrication properties of natural synovia and provide a high chondroprotective efficiency. They were tested in osteoarthritis models and in clinical practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sergey Ermakov,Alexandr Beletskii,Oleg Eismont\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319203487\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319203485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/21\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 211\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Sergey Ermakov","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48519760838911,"sku":"9783319203485","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9703eca5-e2d1-41db-a602-aeecd1e70b38.jpg?v=1778738652","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/liquid-crystals-in-biotribology-sergey-ermakov-9783319203485","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
