Robust and Highly Stretchable Chitosan Nanofiber/Alumina-Coated Silica/Carboxylated Poly (Vinyl Alcohol)/Borax Composite Hydrogels Constructed by Multiple Crosslinking

We investigated the mechanical and structural properties of composite hydrogels composed of chitosan nanofiber (ChsNF), positively charged alumina-coated silica (ac-SiO<sub>2</sub>) nanoparticles, carboxylated poly (vinyl alcohol) (cPVA), and borax. ChsNF/cPVA/borax hydrogels without ac-...
