Enhancing the mechanical properties and self-healing efficiency of hydroxyethyl cellulose-based conductive hydrogels via supramolecular interactions

Natural polymer based self-healing hydrogels have attracted intense consideration due to their attributable and a wide range of applications. However, to design hydrogels having excellent self-healing efficiency and super mechanical strength is still a big challenge. Herein, we report hydroxyethyl cellulose based self-healing conducting hydrogels with enhanced mechanical properties by the molecular engineering of Fe3+ ions among the functional...
