Alginate Hydrogels Reinforced by Dehydration under Stress—Application to a Soft Magnetic Actuator
We investigated the effect of partial dehydration under mechanical stress in the properties of alginate hydrogels. For this aim, we characterized the mechanical properties of the hydrogels under tensile and shear stress, as well as their swelling behavior, macroscopic appearance, and microscopic str...
