Key Points

Glycol gels show improved adhesion, making them more effective in various applications that require durability.
The preserved elastic modulus indicates that these gels maintain their mechanical properties even after long-term exposure to heat.
The innovative approach of using water evaporation for affine shrinkage enhances the gel's overall performance.
These findings suggest that glycol gels could be a superior alternative to traditional hydrogels in various fields.

Implication

Research demonstrates preserved elastic modulus and improved adhesion in glycol gels, indicating greater stability over time.

Abstract

Glycol-based polymer gels have emerged as stable alternatives to water-based hydrogels, offering intrinsic advantages owing to the ultra-low volatility and high thermal stability of glycol solvents. However, progress has been...
