Overview

Proposed crystalline refinement approach improves strength and toughness in conductive hydrogels, highlighting capabilities for biomedical and wearable applications.

Key Points

  • Strength of the engineered hydrogel reached 13.4 MPa while maintaining high flexibility and toughness.
  • Fracture strain was recorded at 2337%, showcasing the hydrogel's exceptional stretchability.
  • A crystalline domain-featured architecture was developed via controlled drying and modulation during rehydration.
  • The hydrogel demonstrates strong mechanical properties beneficial for diverse applications in wearables and biomedicine.
