A hydra tentacle-inspired hydrogel with underwater ultra-stretchability for adhering adipose surfaces
Abstract
Adhesive hydrogels hold great significance in various biomedical applications. However, the maintenance of high extensibility and adhesion to adipose matters still remain challenging. Inspired by hydra tentacles, we utilise flexible polymeric ionic crosslinkers for constructing densely crosslinked networks. The derived hydrogel was ultra-stretchable (over 54 times) even in the fully swollen state in water. Due to dense electrostatic bonding...
