Osteoarthritis is characterized by lubrication failure of the articular cartilage and severe inflammation of the joint capsule. Lubricating mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have been developed for the treatment of osteoarthritis based on enhanced lubrication and local drug delivery. However, MSNs are difficult to degrade in vivo in a short time, resulting in potential toxic effect due to bioaccumulation. In this study, biodegradable MSNs (bMSNs) were prepared through an oil–water biphase stratification method, and modified with poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphocholine) (PMPC) to synthesize lubricating drug-loaded nanoparticles (bMSNs–NH2@PMPC) by photopolymerization. The in vitro degradation test demonstrated that the bMSNs and bMSNs–NH2@PMPC almost degraded within 7 days. The tribiological test showed that the lubrication property of the bMSNs–NH2@PMPC was greatly improved, with a reduction of 50％ in the friction coefficient (COF) compared with the bMSNs. It was attributed to hydration lubrication mechanism by which a tenacious hydration layer is formed surrounding the zwitterionic headgroups (N+(CH3)3 and PO4- ) in PMPC polyelectrolyte polymer. Additionally, the bMSNs–NH2@PMPC maintained excellent lubrication property under degradation and achieved sustained drug release behavior compared with the bMSNs. In summary, the biodegradable bMSNs–NH2@PMPC developed in this study with the properties of enhanced lubrication and drug delivery may be a promising approach for osteoarthritis therapy.

In order to further reduce the publication time lag to meet this increasing demand from both our authors and readers, the journal Friction expands its publication frequency from bimonthly to monthly, effective Issue 1, Volume 10 (2022).
Biomedical tribology has developed rapidly with the joint efforts of medical and tribological researchers, and it concerns various kinds of friction that existed inside and outside the body, such as the friction of joints, the friction between skin and cl
Numerous medical devices have been applied for the treatment or alleviation of various diseases. Tribological issues widely exist in those medical devices and play vital roles in determining their performance and service life. In this review, the bio-trib
Magnesium matrix composites are a new generation of biocompatible implant materials, but they will inevitably undergo simultaneous wear and corrosion in the human body. In this study, hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, HA) is used in a magnesium matrix comp
Hydrophilic polymer coatings can improve the surface characteristics of artificial implants. However, because they are used in vivo, they inevitably come into contact with biomolecules that affect their interfacial tribological properties. In this paper,
