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 ...

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 ...
