Strong, tough, rapid-recovery, and fatigue-resistant hydrogels made of picot peptide fibres
Abstract Hydrogels are promising soft materials as tissue engineering scaffolds, stretchable sensors, and soft robotics. Yet, it remains challenging to develop synthetic hydrogels with mechanical stability and durability similar to those of the connective tissues. Many of the necessary mechanical pr...
