Cartilage regeneration and repair are considered clinical challenges since cartilage has limited capability for reconstruc-tion.Although tissue-engineered materials have the ability to repair cartilage,they have weak mechanical characteristics and cannot resist long-term overload.On the other hand,surgery to replace the joint is frequently done to treat significant cartilage deterioration these days.However,the materials that are being used for replacement have high friction coefficients,lack shock absorption functions,and lack cushioning.Further research on natural articular cartilage structure and function may lead to bionic hydrogels,which have suitable physicochemical and biological characteristics(e.g.,tribological and mechanical properties and the ability to support loadbearing capability),but need improvements.Based on their tribologi-cal and mechanical characteristics,the current review highlights the most recent advancements of bionic hydrogels used for articular cartilage,highlighting both the field's recent progress and its potential for future research.For this reason,firstly,some important property improvement methods of bionic hydrogels are discussed and then,the recent findings of various research on the making of those bionic materials are provided and compared.It seems that by using some modifications such as product design,surface treatments,animal tests,controlling the isoelectric point of hydrogels,and computer simulation,the intended mechanical and tribological characteristics of natural articular cartilage may be attained by the bionic hydrogels.
