The prevalent nature of osteoarthritis that causes the erosion of joint surfaces and loss of mobility and muscle dystrophy that weakens the musculoskeletal system and hampers locomotion underlies the importance of developing functional replacement or regeneration of muscle and cartilage tissues. Polyelectrolyte gels have high potential as cellular scaffolds due to characteristic properties similar to biological matrixes. A number of in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that polyelectrolyte gels are useful for replacement and regeneration of muscle and cartilage tissues. In addition, it was also found that polyelectrolyte gels have high biocompatibility, durability, and resistance to biodegradation. Moreover, polyelectrolyte gels can overcome their drawbacks of mechanical behavior by introducing double network into the gel. This paper reviews the current status and recent progress of polyelectrolyte gel-based tissue engineering for repairs of muscle and cartilage tissues.

Polymer gels are well known in the oil industry, but their potential for use as barriers to contaminant transport has not previously received significant study. As a first step, this paper examines the potential for a polyelectrolyte gel to serve as a barrier to the migration of sodium chloride. Two series of tests are reported. These involve the use of hydrogen pulsed field gradient – nuclear magnetic resonance (HPFG–NMR) to measure the self-diffusion on a microscopic scale and the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to monitor Na+ and H+ migration in the polymer gel with time. It is shown that the gel, which has a hydraulic conductivity of 2 × 10–12 m/s, has a diffusion coefficient similar to that of compacted clay and greater sorption of Na+ than is typical for compacted clay.Key words: diffusion, contaminant, osmosis, gels, barriers.
