A facile strategy to fabricate highly-stretchable self-healing poly(vinyl alcohol) hybrid hydrogels based on metal–ligand interactions and hydrogen bonding
To develop a hybrid hydrogel using poly(vinyl alcohol) that exhibits enhanced stretchability and self-healing capabilities.
Fabricated poly(vinyl alcohol) hybrid hydrogel using metal–ligand interactions and hydrogen bonding.
Hydrogels showed high stretchability and were able to self-heal after damage.
Abstract
A novel poly(vinyl alcohol) hybrid hydrogel based on metal–ligand interactions and hydrogen bonding was fabricated, possessing highly-stretchable and self-healing properties.
