Hydrogels have great potential as soft body tissue replacements. However due to their weak mechanical properties, are unable to fulfil this application. A double network hydrogel (30% hydrogel concentration) of polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) and poly acrylic acid (PAA) along with multi-walle...
