Bioengineering Materials and Conditions for Obtaining Low Friction with PVA Hydrogels

Bioengineering Materials and Conditions for Obtaining Low Friction with PVA Hydrogels

Biological materials that make up the body organs and tissues are soft, wet and visco-elastic. Hydrogels can mimic these aspects and show promise for bio-medical applications. Their tribological properties are very important for promising applications such as artificial cartilage and bio-models for...
