A method of reducing a friction coefficient of a surface is disclosed herein, comprising attaching a water-soluble polymer to the surface, and contacting the water-soluble polymer with liposomes, thereby coating the surface with an amphiphilic lipid. Further disclosed herein are solutions comprising a water-soluble polymer attachable to the surface, liposomes, and an aqueous carrier, for reducing a friction coefficient of a surface, and methods utilizing same. Articles of manufacture comprising a substrate coated by a water-soluble polymer which is coated by an amphiphilic lipid are also described, as are uses and methods for treating a synovial joint disorder associated with increased articular friction.
A method of reducing a friction coefficient of a surface, the method comprising contacting the surface with a solution comprising at least one water-soluble polymer, liposomes, and an aqueous carrier, and modifying the surface so as to obtain a modified surface, wherein said water-soluble polymer and said modified surface are selected such that said water-soluble polymer is attachable to said modified surface.
A method of reducing a friction coefficient of a surface, the method comprising:
An article of manufacture comprising a composition-of-matter, the composition-of-matter comprising a substrate coated, on at least a portion of a surface thereof, by at least one water-soluble polymer, the article of manufacture being identified for use for efficiently attaching thereto an amphiphilic lipid so as to reduce a friction coefficient of said substrate.
