摘要: We present a facile strategy to synthesize self-healable tough and highly stretchable hydrogels. Our design rationale for the creation of ionic cross-linked hydrogels is graft an acrylic acid monomer on surface vinyl hybrid silica nanoparticles (VSNPs) growth poly(acrylic) (PAA), obtained VSNP–PAA nanobrush can be used as gelator. Physical cross-linking through hydrogen bonding ferric ion-mediated interactions between PAA polymer chains gelators yielded nanocomposite physical with excellent balanced mechanical properties (tensile strength 860 kPa, elongation at break ∼2300%), ability self-repair ∼560 ∼1800%). The toughness stretchability arise from reversible that help dissipate energy stress (deformation) triggered dynamic processes. These unique will enable greater application these hydrogel materials, especially in tissue engineering.
