Engineers at Leeds University and Imperial College London have developed a load-bearing material that mimics human cartilage.
Researchers believe the new material could be used for a wide range of engineering purposes, including the potential for a new generation of lightweight bearings.
Cartilage a soft fibrous tissue found around joints that provides protection from compressive loading generated by walking, running or lifting is a bi-phasic porous material that exists in solid and fluid phases. It switches to its fluid phase by absorbing synovial fluid, a viscous substance produced in the joints.
This fluid lubricates the joints and when held in the porous matrix of the cartilage also provides a hydroelastic cushion against compressive forces. Because cartilage is porous, the synovial fluid eventually drains away and helps dissipate the energy forces travelling through the body, which protect ....
