Exploiting the role of nanoparticle shape in enhancing hydrogel adhesive and mechanical properties

The ability to control nanostructure shape and dimensions presents opportunities to design materials in which their macroscopic properties are dependent upon the nature of the nanoparticle. Here the authors show nanoparticle shape is a critical consideration in the determination of nanocomposite hyd...
