The fascinating tribological phenomenon of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) observed at the nanoscale was confirmed in our numerous macroscale experiments. We designed and employed CNT-containing nanolubricants strictly for polymer lubrication. In this paper, we present the experiment characterising how the CNT structure determines its lubricity on various types of polymers.

The aim of this study was to assess the influence of TENS and IFC on pain relief and to compare the analgesic efficacy of the two currents.
Material And Methods: Sixty patients aged 53.
Unlabelled: Electrotherapy, including iontophoresis and magnetic field, is one of the most commonly used physical procedures in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RS).
The Aim Of The Paper: To evaluate the effect of iontophoresis and magnetic field procedures on the intensity and frequency of pain sensation, administration of analgesics, limitation of knee joint mobility and comparative evaluation of analgesic effect s of the applied procedures.
Material And Methods: The study included a group of 60 female patients affected by RS with knee joint pain.
