Hydrogels have similar structural and functional properties to natural articular cartilage, so they have been widely used in the research of biomimetic articular cartilage. In this research, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and betaine monomer were used as raw materials to prepare hydrogel on polyetheretherk...
