Bioinspired Tough and Antiswelling Hydrogel via in Situ Self-Assembly of Amphiphilic Copolymers within a Hydrophilic Network
{{output}}
Inspired by tropoelastin coacervation, a process in elastic fiber formation driven by hydrophobic interactions, we developed a tough, antiswelling hydrogel, PHEA-(PVA-co-PE), by incorporating amphiphilic poly(vinyl alcohol-co-ethylene) (PVA-co-PE) into a hydro... ...
