Architected Inverse Nacre Hydrogels With High Strength and Crack‐Insensitive Toughness
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Hydrogels hold promise for biomedical and engineering applications, yet their practical use is fundamentally limited by the strength‐toughness trade‐off and poor fatigue resistance. In this study, a bioinspired inverse nacre architecture constructed via a scalable thermo‐calendering process is introduced, which overcomes these classic limitations ...
