Prestressed Composite Polymer Gels as a Model of the Extracellular-Matrix of Cartilage
Articular cartilage is a composite hydrogel found in animal and human joints, which exhibits unique load-bearing properties that have been challenging to reproduce in synthetic materials and model in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We computationally investigate a composite hydrogel that mimics...
