Article Synopsis
  • The text discusses advancements in nanocomposite hydrogels, focusing on a new method that combines covalent bonds and non-covalent interactions to create self-strengthening hydrogels.
  • A pseudo double-network system is formed using Tris-modified layered double hydroxides and oxidized dextran, resulting in hydrogels that can swell up to 420 times their original size while retaining over 99.9% water.
  • Mechanical tests show these hydrogels can withstand 90% compression and stretch nearly 30 times their original length, demonstrating excellent performance thanks to their unique energy dissipation mechanisms.
