Abstract
Double network (DN) hydrogels with two strong asymmetric networks being chemically linked have demonstrated their excellent mechanical properties as the toughest hydrogels, but chemically linked DN gels often exhibit negligible fatigue resistance and poor self‐healing property due to the irreversible chain breaks in covalent‐linked networks. Here, a new design strategy is proposed and demonstrated to improve both fatigue resistance and...
