Tough double network hydrogels with rapid self-reinforcement and low hysteresis based on highly entangled networksMost tough hydrogels are reinforced by introducing energy dissipation mechanisms, but simultaneously realizing a high toughness and low hysteresis is challenging because the energy dissipation ...

The hydrogels were characterized by rheology using an Anton Paar MCR302 rotational rheometer with a 20-mm-diameter parallel plate. Testing was performed at 37 °C and room temperature. A solvent trap was used to ensure temperature stability. A 0.5 mL volume of hydrogel was incubated in 37 °C...
obtained SEM images, the RF network structure was smaller than that of FNFs, which may explain the absence of a reinforcement effect. Meanwhile, the elastic modulus of the FNF−gelatine hydrogels remained almost unchanged, whereas that of the RF−gelatine hydrogels increased with the addition ...
used the damageless reinforcement strategy of strain-induced crystallisation to build high toughness and rapid recovery31. Kim et al. used dense entanglements, which greatly outnumber crosslinks in hydrogels, to realise high toughness, strength, and fatigue resistance32. Moreover, the hidden length ...

Hydrogels, provided that they integrate strength and toughness at desired high content of water, promise in load-bearing tissues such as articular cartilage, ligaments, tendons. Many developed strategies impart hydrogels with some mechanical properties a
Rapid decomposition of the initiators makes it biocompatible and suitable for cell encapsulation and proliferation. In the proposed method, typical metal ions and commonly used synthetic polymers are generally used to form tough hydrogels with alginate. Such soft hydrogels have good mechanical strength ...
