Dataset for: Towards cartilage-mimicking hydrogels: Biotribological evaluation of pHEMA and PVA-based materials

This dataset includes all the raw data published in the paper entitled: Towards cartilage-mimicking hydrogels: Biotribological evaluation of pHEMA and PVA-based materials. The dataset specifically contains data from measurements of swelling kinetics of hydrogels, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) of hydrogels, images taken via scanning electron microscopy of the hydrogel surfaces, measurements of friction coefficients of hydrogels articulating with cartilage and CoCrMo counterfaces, and images taken by optical scanning microscopy, enabling evaluation of wear rate. Further information is provided in the README file.
