| Research Abstract |
Hybrid artificial cartilage was developed and was evaluated on friction property. PVA hydrogel was used as basic material, and condrocyte was introduced on PVA hydrogel surface, then hybrid artificial cartilage with extra-cellular matrix was developed. Hybrid artificial cartilage showed that coefficient of friction was decreased with incubating time. Therefore, development of hybrid artificial cartilage was successful.
