Biomimetic double network hydrogels: Combining dynamic and static crosslinks to enable biofabrication and control cell‐matrix interactions

Hydrogels are promising candidates for recapitulation of the native extracellular matrix (ECM), yet recreating molecular and spatiotemporal complexity within a single network remains a challenge. Double network (DN) hydrogels are a promising step towards recapitulating the multicomponent ECM and have enhanced mechanical properties. Here, we investigate DNs based on dynamic covalent and covalent bonds to mimic the dynamicity of the ECM and enable...
