Ultra-strong thermoresponsive double network hydrogels
Soft Matter, 2013 Thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) hydrogels are widely studied smart materials, particularly for biomedical applications, but are limited by their mechanical strength. In this study, double network (DN) hydrogels were prepared with an asymmetric crosslink design and inclusion of an electrostatic co-monomer, 2-acrylamido-2 ...
