Hydrogels have been extensively studied for applications in various fields, such as tissue engineering and soft robotics, as determined by their mechanical properties. The mechanical design of hydrogels typically focuses on the modulus, toughness, and deformability. These characteristics play important ...
23Citations 203Altmetric Metrics Abstract We develop soft and stretchable fatigue-resistant hydrogel optical fibers that enable optogenetic modulation of peripheral nerves in naturally behaving animals during persistent locomotion. The formation of polymeric nanocrystalline domains within the hydrogels yields fibe...
Introducing self-healing properties into hydrogels can prolong their application lifetime. However, achieving mechanical strength without sacrificing self-healing properties is still a major challenge. We prepared a series of zwitterionic polymer hydrogels by random copolymerization of zwitterionic ionic ...
Hydrogels are promising soft materials as tissue engineering scaffolds, stretchable sensors, and soft robotics. Yet, it remains challenging to develop synthetic hydrogels with mechanical stability and durability similar to those of the connective tissues

The mechanical design of hydrogels typically focuses on the modulus, toughness, and deformability. These characteristics play important roles...
Most load-carrying materials—plastics, metals, elastomers, hydrogels—have potent natural or engineered tougheners, and fall much below the diagonal: these materials are tough but fatigue-prone. For these tough materials, the threshold is typically lower than the toughness by one to two orders of...
