We report the relationships between linear vs. network polymer architecture and biomechanical outcomes including lubrication and cushioning when the polymers are applied to the surface of articulating knee cartilage. Aqueous formulations of the bioinspired polymer poly(2-methacryloyloxylethyl phosphorylcholine) (pMPC) exhibit tuneable rheological properties, with network pMPC exhibiting increased elasticity and viscosity compared to linear pMPC. Application of a polymer network, compared to a linear one, to articulating tissue surfaces reduces friction, lessens tissue strain, minimizes wear, and protects tissue – thereby improving overall tissue performance. Administration of the network pMPC to the middle carpal joint of skeletally mature horses elicits a safe response similar to saline as monitored over a 70 day period.

Biomaterials Science
Biomaterials Science is an international high impact journal exploring the science of biomaterials and their translation towards clinical use. Its scope encompasses new concepts in biomaterials design, studies into the interaction of biomaterials with the body, and the use of materials to answer fundamental biological questions. Papers do not necessarily need to report a new biomaterial but should provide novel insight into the biological applications of the biomaterial. Articles that primarily focus on demonstrating novel materials chemistry and bring a molecular picture to bear on a given material’s suitability as a biomaterial are more suited to our companion journal, Journal of Materials Chemistry B. Biomaterials Science publishes primary research and review-type articles in the following areas: molecular design of biomaterials, including translation of emerging chemistries to biomaterials science of cells and materials at the nanoscale and microscale materials as model systems for stem cell and human biology materials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (Nano)materials and (nano)systems for therapeutic delivery interactions at the biointerface biologically inspired and biomimetic materials, including bio-inspired self-assembly systems and cell-inspired synthetic tools next-generation biomaterials tools and methods
