A model with contact maps at both polymer chain and network scales for tough hydrogels with chain entanglement, hidden length and unconventional network topology

Tough hydrogels with unconventional polymer network architectures often show superior mechanical properties because of the microstructures at the polymer chain and network scales. In this study, a single-chain based model, or called the network topology with hidden length and entanglement (NeTHE) mo...
