Thixotropic hydrogel, synthesised by gelatin, alginate sodium, tannic acid and weak crosslinking by Ca<sup>2+</sup> (Gel-TA-Alg@Ca<sup>2+</sup>), was used as a lubricant due to its shear-thinning when loaded, then the recovery viscosity to be benefitted for reserving in surface pores on UHMWPE when unloaded. Surface porous UHMWPE was fabricated by using hydroxyapatite particles as porogen to control its porosity, pore size, surface roughness and surface energy (PE-HA). Gel-TA-Alg@Ca<sup>2+</sup> significantly reduced average coefficients of friction and wear factors compared to those under normal saline and calf serum solution lubricating after reciprocating tribological testing. Notably, Gel-TA-Alg@Ca<sup>2+</sup> still maintained thixotropy and was stored in surface pores of UHMWPE even after tribological testing for 7200 min. Thus, durable lubrication could be realised due to the synergistic effect of surface porous structure and thixotropy.

In this study, the wear of an all-polymer (PEEK-OPTIMA™ polymer-on-UHMWPE) total knee replacement and a conventional cobalt chrome-on-UHMWPE implant of similar initial surface topography and geometry were investigated under elevated temperature conditions.

To achieve an improved drag reduction effect on the complicated shape surface, a simple, low-cost, and timesaving stretching approach was proposed to adjust the riblet parameters on the underwater vehicle surface by controllable deformation. Nature latex rubber membrane with regular micro-riblets was prepared as a stretching flexible film, and the spacing and height of the micro-riblets were adjusted by adaptive control of the stretching ratio. The circulating water channel experiment verified the effectiveness and feasibility of the self-adaptive drag reduction by the controllable deformation method. The results demonstrated that the drag reduction rate of the controllable deformation bionic fish skin was 4.26% compared with a smooth surface at 0.25 m/s with an angle of attack of 0°, which is better than any other angle.

Laser surface texturing treatment is performed on the titanium alloy through different pulse numbers, power, pulse width and scan times to obtain different morphologies. The 2D cross-section profile shows that the morphology can be divided into three types in the evolution process of various pulse numbers, powers and pulse widths: bump-shaped, hump-shaped and crater-shaped.

The effects of laser parameters on the height of bumps and the evolution of morphology are the main research points to analyse the topography evolution. The causes of bumps are also analysed.
