[111115]. Using PCDME instead of PAMPS yielded a substantial augmentation in tensile strength elastic modulus and fracture stress [105, 106]. Using alginate increased fracture energy and Young’s modulus [107109]. A combination of a poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA)–(PAMPS) with nanober network DN hydrogel which con­tains bacterial cellulose (BC) demonstrates modulus to cartilage and comparable strength in both compression and tension, while also exhibiting tensile fatigue strength similar to that of cartilage after 100,000cycles [108, 109]. A synthetic gel composed of glycerol and PHEMA was formulated by combining a 1:1 mass ratio of glycerin and HEMA.The mechanical characteristics evaluation revealed that the synthetic gel exhibited a hardness comparable to that of natural cartilage [110, 160]. Double network (DN) hydrogels, comprising a primary network of PAMPS and a secondary network of P(NIPAAm-co-AAm), leverage the incorporation of PNIPAAm improves the gels mechanical characteristics by going above the normal physiological temperature range/thermal phase transition [111]. Double network (DN) gels St-TPEG/PAAm were prepared using a molecular stent approach within TPEG gels, leading to a nearly uniform rst network structure [111].

2.5.8 Triple Network Hydrogel

Single or double-network hydrogels have signicant compatible, tribological, struc­tural properties. However, this gel doesn’t achieve the desired mechanical, tensile, and compressive resilience of the native articular cartilage. That’s why a third net­work (charged, neutral, hydrophilic, hydrophobic) is incorporated within the double- network hydrogel to increase the mechanical property while keeping the tribological property the same [116]. Incorporating multiple networks by sequential polymerization reactions or combining different polymerization methods allows for enhanced toughness, strength, and resilience, mimicking the mechanical properties of natural tissues. Examples of triple-network hydrogels include PAA/Agar/PVA TN, PVA/B TN, PAA/Gela/PVA TN, and PVA/PVP/PAA TN, which have demon­strated exceptional fracture stress, compression strength, and compressive modulus as shown in Figs.2.24, 2.25 and 2.26 where the synthesis techniques for different monomer chains are explained to understand the interlinked interactions [119, 121,
122]. Furthermore, these hydrogels often possess self-healing properties, enabling
the recovery of mechanical integrity upon damage. The networks’ charge, density, and other characteristics signicantly inuence the overall properties of triple­network hydrogels. Higher charge densities increase stiffness and reduce swelling; lower charge densities enhance exibility and swelling ability. Increasing network and crosslinking densities improve stiffness, strength, and load-bearing capacity, but excessive densities can lead to brittleness. Adjusting polymer composition, molecular weight, and intermolecular interactions allows modulation of the

hydrogel’s mechanical, swelling, and degradation properties [116120, 159, 161]. In the PAMPS-PVA-BC triple network hydrogel, BC functions akin to collagen by providing tensile strength, while PAMPS serves as a provider of osmotic restorative force, permanent negative charge, and like the function of cartilage proteogly­can [109].

2.6 Tribological, Mechanical, andStructural Properties
ofPotential Cartilage Replacement Hydrogel

2.6.1 Polyacrylamide

The implementation of polyacrylamide hydrogel made a signicant impact and has been reported to substantially diminish the friction characteristics of cartilage explants in degradation models, exhibiting a notable reduction of 30% to 40% com­pared to control samples [123]. With increasing applied load, the extent of micro plowing and plastic deformation is enhanced, leading to a reduction in brittle frac­ture effects. For instance, 7.5% PAAm hydrogel exhibits a wear volume ranging from 0.01 to 0.05mm3 about cumulated dissipative energy and a wear rate of 0.1 to
0.5mm3 based on speeds ranging from 1 to 3mm/s, under varying forces of 1 to 5mN as shown in Figs.2.27 and 2.28 [115, 129]. For Gemini contact of polyacryl­amide, 3–17% PAAm hydrogels have friction coefcients ranging from 0.001 to
0.025. For migrating or solid contact, the friction coefcient ranges from 0.01 to
0.05 [124, 125]. With increasing normal force, the friction coefcient decreases in polyacrylamide [135]. The lubrication mechanisms in PAAm are thermal uctua­tion lubrication and polymer relaxation lubrication [124127, 165]. Elevated tem­perature annealing can enhance the ability of PVA hydrogels to withstand deformation under prolonged stress/creep resistance. Nevertheless, the annealing process causes the collapse of pores, leading to a decrease in the level of water con­tent and, consequently, a decrease in the hydrogel surface’s lubrication behavior. By incorporating polyacrylamide (PAAm) within the pores, the collapse is mitigated, allowing for better water retention and increased lubricity. The PVA-PAAm hydro­gel has a friction range from 0.12 to 0.3 as shown in Figs.2.29 and 2.30 [74]. The frictional behavior of brushy hydrogel surfaces relies on both the extent of surface hydration and the contact surface conditions. These hydrogels demonstrate low

friction (μ~0.01) that remains consistent regardless of speed when subjected to migrating contact. This behavior is attributed to the presence of a substantial layer of shearing liquid conned within the loosely arranged surface structure as shown in Fig.2.30 [126, 164]. The GelMA/PAM biohybrid hydrogels exhibited increased exibility (with a storage modulus near 1000Pa) and enhanced compressive strength (almost 0.38 MPa). Notably, both the GelMA/PAM and the GelMA hydrogel reduced signicantly in swelling ratio behavior compared to the PAM hydrogel. Furthermore, the GelMA/PAM hydrogel exhibited a permeable structure that encompassed characteristics from both GelMA and PAM hydrogels. Both GelMA

and PAM can be incorporated and result in notable advancements in mechanical and tribological behavior, thus holding signicant potential for cartilage replacement applications [128].

2.6.2 PEG Hydrogel

A comprehensive investigation was conducted on the wide range of compositions of PEG hydrogel to nd the physical properties of these hydrogels. by changing the molecular weight of PEG concentration (3.4–10kDa), 4-arm PEG-Acr concentra­tion (0–20wt %), and PEGDA concentration (10–30wt %), the hydrogel formula­tions of these PEG hydrogels were systematically varied as a result, 27 distinct hydrogel formulations were created and subsequently characterized. The modulus of these hydrogels varied from 10 to 250kPa as shown in Fig.2.31 [131], offering a wide spectrum of mechanical properties suitable for various applications for vary­ing mesh sizes of 5 to 90nm [131]. The initial storage modulus (G) for hydrogels of different PEG molecular weights fell within the range of 1–3kPa, with mesh sizes varying in a range from 11 to 19nm based on molecular weight variation as shown in Fig.2.32 [132]. Over the course of the 5-day testing period, the G values consistently decreased for all hydrogels synthesized using degradable cross-linkers [80]. The friction behavior of PEG hydrogel is shown in Fig.2.33 which indicates signicant low friction and wear rate for varying crosslinker concentrations [132].

2.6.3 PVA Hydrogel

The study demonstrated that hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles embedded in PVA hydrogel exhibited reduced wear when applied to stainless steel, while various alloy particles such as Ti, steel, and HA also displayed low friction coefcients [9598]. The friction behavior between PVA hydrogel and articular cartilage exhibited an increase, ranging from 0.12 to 0.147, under a 10-N load, as the speed escalated by varying from 10 to 20mm/s [60]. With a low hardness and elastic modulus, the PVA

hydrogels possess a heterogeneous and porous structure [133]. The magnitude of the typical kinetic friction coefcient lies between 0.04 and 0.07, compressive mod­ulus 2–7MPa, and tensile strength of 1–7MPa for high molecular weight (30%) PVA hydrogel [94]. The wear with time observed between PVA hydrogel and artic­ular cartilage involved adhesive wear and surface fatigue [60]. Implantation of high­water content PVA gels (80–90% water) into rabbits subcutaneously or intramuscularly resulted in no observed adverse effects in the surrounding tissue, conrming the material’s biocompatibility [58, 134], orally safe [135], implantable [136], non-toxic [137], and biocompatible [138]. The utilization of PVA inserts in commercial hip pair (HXPE, UHMWPE, metal/ceramic sockets, metal/ceramic heads) led to a signicant reduction of up to 98% in the value of the coefcient of friction, reducing the coefcient average and maintained within the range of 0.002 to 0.0055 as shown in Figs.2.34 and 2.35 for commercial hip pair and PVA hydro­gel friction behavior comparison [139].

2.6.4 Double Network Hydrogel

The double network structure allows for improved load-bearing capacity, replicat­ing the high tensile and compressive strength required in articular cartilage, the combination of two networks with contrasting properties provides enhanced tough­ness and resilience, enabling the hydrogel to withstand repetitive mechanical stresses, improved hydration and lubrication characteristics of natural cartilage, promoting reduced friction and wear, and facilitating better articulation within joint interfaces. The incorporation of continuous PGF in PGF-PVA composite hydrogel enhances its mechanical properties, resulting in improved mechanical properties, with tensile and compressive strengths reaching 8.15 MPa and 2.07 MPa,

respectively fullling the mechanical criteria necessary for cartilage repair, while also improving the molecular structure’s crystallinity and thermal stability through crosslinking points formation, and providing an efcient ions exchange behavior of the PVA hydrogel matrix to the degradation of PGF leads to a change in ion concen­tration, creating a more conducive metabolic environment that promotes chondro­cyte proliferation and induction, resulting in improved recruitment [140]. The synthesis technique and strength behavior is depicted in Figs.2.36 and 2.37 through the network distribution and strength testing [141, 169]. In deionized water and calf serum, the (PHEMA)/glycerol synthetic gel demonstrated the lowest friction behav­ior which is 0.039 and 0.018 for knee prostheses compared to most conventional materials [110]. In PAMPS/PNIPAAm double network hydrogels, the inclusion of PNIPAAm enhances their mechanical properties by raising the thermal temperature found in the natural physiological environment. Compared to traditional single net­work hydrogels, the PNIPAAm composed double network hydrogels claries a sig­nicant 50 times increase in the property of compressive strength approximately (25MPa, like cartilage), while also exhibiting modulus like cartilage (∼1MPa) and hydration amount like (80%). Furthermore, the PNIPAAm double network hydrogel displays a 50% less friction coefcient (COF) [114]. DN hydrogels with

neutral or zwitterionic second networks showed lower friction and shear stresses, surpassing cartilage performance. Lubrication responses varied more in water than in FBS, but in both cases, the friction coefcients fell below 0.3, indicating effective lubrication like cartilage. These DN hydrogels meet or exceed lubrication demands for load-bearing joint cartilage replacement. Among the hydrogel samples tested, DN-APTAC (+)-10% exhibited the highest friction behavior and the lowest surface modulus in both FBS and water. On the other hand, though DN-AMPS (−)-10% was stiffer than DN-APTAC (+)-10%, it had slightly lower friction behavior than DN-APTAC(+)-10%. Double network DN-MDSAH-10% and DN-Aam-10% rep­resented the shear stress values and lowest friction as shown in Fig.2.38 [115]. These ndings suggest that charge reorientation happens when a negative charge is present in these gels, in a similar manner as cartilage, and is likely to result in the most effective lubrication response [115].
