Abstract:

Hydrogels have been proposed as candidates for nucleus pulposus replacement due to their similarity in mechanical behavior to the native tissue when subjected to transient or static loading; however, given the viscoelastic nature of soft biological tissues, the lack of dynamic testing is a significant inadequacy in the studies performed...
