Facile preparation of cellulose hydrogel with Achilles tendon-like super strength through aligning hierarchical fibrous structure
Abstract
The extreme mechanical strength of fibrous connective tissues in the human body, such as ligaments and tendons, has always been challenging for hydrogel scientists. Here, we created extremely strong, purely cellulose-based hydrogels (DCC-E gels). The fracture stress and Young’s modulus of the gels were improved to the level of an Achilles tendon even at their equilibrium swollen state. To make DCC-E gels, regenerated cellulose gels were first...
