Influence of Network Topology on the Viscoelastic Properties of Dynamically Crosslinked Hydrogels

Biological materials combine stress relaxation and self-healing with non-linear stress-strain responses. These characteristic features are a direct result of hierarchical self-assembly, which often results in fiber-like architectures. Even though structural knowledge is rapidly increasing, it has re...
