## Abstract Many hydrogels have been proposed as articular cartilage replacements as an alternative to partial or total joint replacements. In the current study, poly(vinyl alcohol)/poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVA/PVP) hydrogels were investigated as potential cartilage replacements by investigating th
Many biomaterials are being developed to repair or replace articular cartilage. One of these materials, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogel prepared from aqueous solution of the polymer by freezing and thawing method may exhibit the mechanical properties required to withstand the harsh environment of
