A Porous Hydrogel with High Mechanical Strength and Biocompatibility for Bone Tissue Engineering

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels are considered to be ideal materials for tissue engineering due to their high water content, low frictional behavior, and good biocompatibility. However, their limited mechanical properties restrict them from being applied when repairing load-bearing tissue. Inspire...
