In situ mechanical reinforcement of polymer hydrogels via metal-coordinated crosslink mineralization

© 2021, The Author(s). Biological organic-inorganic materials remain a popular source of inspiration for bioinspired materials design and engineering. Inspired by the self-assembling metal-reinforced mussel holdfast threads, we tested if metal-coordinate polymer networks can be utilized as simple co...
