The aim is to understand how the degree of crosslinking affects the mechanical properties of fibrous hydrogels.
Varied the degree of intrafibrillar crosslinking in composite fibrous hydrogels.
Examined strain stiffening and compression-induced softening effects.
Strain stiffening occurs as the degree of crosslinking increases.
Compression-induced softening demonstrates significant property manipulation.

Experimental study investigates strain stiffening and softening in fibrous hydrogels, suggesting manipulation of material properties.

Strain stiffening and compression-induced softening of the fibrous hydrogels were controlled by varying the degree of intrafibrillar crosslinking.
