Mussel-Inspired Self-Healing Hydrogels [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2010 The strength of the coordinate bonds in metal-ligand coordination complexes combined with their capacity to reform after breaking has been proposed as a source of the high toughness and potential self-healing of certain natural materials. Several studies have aimed at testing the mechanical properties of solid-state materials crosslinked with tris ...

Durability and Self-healing Effects of Hydrogel Coatings with respect to Contact Condition
Scientific Reports, 2017 The self-healing property of a hydrogel applied to a glass substrate as a thin polymer coating was assessed. The motivation was to develop a durable hydrogel coating that may be used to protect the surface of precision components from surface damage and ...

Self-healing polyacrylic acid hydrogels
Soft Matter, 2013 pH responsive physical gels were prepared by micellar copolymerization of acrylic acid with 2 mol% stearyl methacrylate (C18) in a solution of worm-like sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles. The physical gels are insoluble in water and exhibit time-dependent dynamic moduli, high Young's modulus (6–53 kPa), high fracture stress (41–173 kPa), high elongation ...

Developing a self-healing supramolecular nucleoside hydrogel [PDF]
Soft Matter, 2016 Low molecular weight gelator hydrogels provide a viable alternative to traditional polymer based drug delivery platforms, owing to their tunable stability and in most cases inherent biocompatibility. Here we report the first self-healing nucleoside hydrogel using N4-octanoyl-2'-deoxycytidine (0.5% w/v) for drug delivery.

Self-healing poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) hydrogels
European Polymer Journal, 2015 Abstract Substitution the covalently crosslinked polymer chains by supramolecular ones is a promising strategy to design self-healing hydrogels. Approaches for the synthesis of supramolecular poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) hydrogels with the ability to self-heal are rare because of the bulky side groups of the polymer hindering formation of ...
