Abstract
The mechanical properties of nanostructured polyelectrolyte hydrogels have been investigated targeting specifically the nonlinear deformation regime at large strains and the fracture properties. The hydrogels were synthesized using a thiol-ene cross-linking chemistry of polyacrylic acid precursor chains previously functionalized with double bonds. Some polymers were also grafted with C12 side chains able to form hydrophobic clusters in water....
