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 ...

Similarly, as a general method for manufacturing tough hydrogels, the method of stretching training combined with salting out is also suitable for 3D-printed hydrogel scaffolds that cannot be photo-cross-linked or require photo-cross-linking before they can be formed (denoted as PCT hydrogels) (Fi...
hydrogels with and without fibroin when RF was added. Enzymatic biodegradability tests indicated that the addition of fibroin inhibits the rapid degradation of gelatine hydrogels in vivo. FNFs, which are easily prepared using only water, are safe for both the environment and living organisms and ...
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 ...
Strong, tough, rapid-recovery, and fatigue-resistant hydrogels made of picot peptide fibres Article Open access 04 May 2023 Data availability The data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request. References Maganaris, C. N. & Paul,...
Moreover, uniform and stable nucleation at a lowered complexation temperature brings a sharpening in the crystalline peaks of PVA-OH hydrogels (Fig. 4e) and a rapid increase in their crystallinity from 2.2% to 8.6% (Fig. 4g, Supplementary Fig. 20). Although the crystallinity is increased ...
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 ...
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
