Tough double network hydrogels with rapid self-reinforcement and low hysteresis based on highly entangled networks

Tough double network hydrogels with rapid self-reinforcement and low hysteresis based on highly entangled networks Abstract Most tough hydrogels are reinforced by introducing energy dissipation mechanisms, but simultaneously realizing a high toughness and low hysteresis is challenging because the energy dissipation structure cannot recover rapidly. In this work, high mechanical performance highly entangled double network hydrogels without energy dissipation structure are fabricated, in which ph...
