Structure-mechanical property relationship of tough hydrogels

Shibayama, Mitsuhiro·2012·Soft Matter

Abstract

Recent developments of tough hydrogels have changed the concept of hydrogels. These gels have an extraordinarily high modulus, high tenacity, and high deformability. In this review, it is demonstrated that structural analyses with small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) have elucidated the origin of the toughness and the mechanisms of deformation of tough hydrogels. Particularly, we focus on Tetra-PEG gels because of their simple and uniform architecture, i.e., unimodal network free from trapped entanglements and with negligible network defects, and investigate the structure-mechanical property relationship.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
