Tribomechanical Comparison between PVA Hydrogels Obtained Using Different Processing Conditions and Human Cartilage
Designing materials for cartilage replacement raises several challenges due to the complexity of the natural tissue and its unique tribomechanical properties. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels have been explored for such purpose since they are biocompatible, present high chemical stability, and th...
