Muscle-like fatigue-resistant hydrogels by mechanical training
Open accessAbstract
Significance: The combinational muscle-like properties including high fatigue resistance, high strength, superior compliance, and high water content are highly desirable for various applications of soft biomaterials such as hydrogels. These combinational properties, largely attributed to the aligned nanofibrils in natural muscles, have not been achieved in synthetic hydrogels. Here, we propose a strategy of mechanical training to impart hydrogels with an extremely high fatigue threshold (1,250 J/m 2 ) and strength (5.2 MPa), while maintaining a high water content (84 wt %) and a low Young’s modulus (200 kPa), reaching combinational muscle-like properties with aligned nanofibrillar architectures. We further achieve isotropically enhanced properties by three-dimensionally printing the hydrogels into microstructures.

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.
