Biomimetic artificial cartilage: fibre-reinforcement of PVA hydrogel to promote biphasic lubrication mechanism

The fibre-reinforced structure in synovial articular cartilage plays an important role in enhancing the fluid load support in the biphasic lubrication mechanism. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogel is a potential biomimetic articular cartilage material. In this study, PVA hydrogel was reinforced with...
