Bioinspired structural hydrogels with highly ordered hierarchical orientations by flow-induced alignment of nanofibrils
Abstract Natural structural materials often possess unique combinations of strength and toughness resulting from their complex hierarchical assembly across multiple length scales. However, engineering such well-ordered structures in synthetic materials via a universal and scalable manner still poses...
