Temperature-Controlled Reversible and Salt-Controlled Recoverable Double-Network Hydrogels with Ultrahigh Mechanical Strength, Stretchable Toughness

As one of the highly researched materials, hydrogel can be described as three-dimensional network of polymers which traps large quantity of water within their structures. Due to its low strength, many enhanced versions have emerged with better mechanical properties. DN hydrogels are one of them. The...

Due to its low strength, many enhanced versions have emerged with better mechanical properties. DN hydrogels are one of them. They are characterized by a special network structure consisting of two polymer components with contrasting properties: one with cross-linked rigid skeleton and the other one is less crosslinked in order to maintain the integrity of the DN hydrogels during deformation.
