Tribological properties of bacterial cellulose in reciprocating sliding against bovine articular cartilage

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a biocompatible material with unique properties, such as high water holding capacity, ultra-fine fibre network and high strength that makes it an attractive material for the repair of articular cartilage lesions. However, data on the tribological properties of BC is very...
