Construction and Properties of Double-Crosslinked Hydrogels Based on Host-Guest Interactions/UV Polymerization

Huayu Li et al.

Summary: The double-crosslinking strategy enhances the mechanical properties of supramolecular hydrogels and improves their fatigue resistance, mainly due to the energy dissipation mechanism introduced in the structure. The swelling capacity of double-crosslinked hydrogels is decreased compared to single UV-crosslinked hydrogels, influenced by the molecular weight and concentration of PEGDMA and 4arm-PEG-MA.
