Hierarchical design of synthetic gel composites optimized to mimic the impact energy dissipation response of brain tissue

Synthetic polymer gels that accurately mimic key mechanical properties of brain tissue are valuable tools for evaluating protective equipment and understanding injury mechanisms, for example in response to concentrated mechanical impact events. Here, we employ impact indentation to investigate the r...
