This study proposes a strategy for developing strong and tough hydrogels by enhancing the interaction between the side groups on polymeric chains and the dispersing medium. Hydrogels are fabricated with a polyacrylamide-alginate double network in a choline chloride saturated solution. The hydrogels exhibit high transparency, toughness, fatigue resistance, self-healing, adhesion, as well as water retention, anti-freezing, and conductivity due to the strengthened hydrogen bonds within the dispersing medium. This research may inspire the development of tough and conductive gels for applications in e-skins, soft robots, and intelligent devices.
In many animals, tough skeletal muscle contraction occurs, producing a strong force through myofilaments attaching to and sliding on fibrous actin filaments. In contrast, the strength of typical synthetic hydrogels is facilitated mainly by polymeric chains. We propose a strategy for developing strong and tough hydrogels in which the side groups on polymeric chains strongly interact with dispersing medium. The hydrogels are fabricated with a polyacrylamide-alginate double network in a choline chloride saturated solution. The hydrogels are not only highly transparent, tough, fatigue-resistant, self-recovering, self-healing, and adhesive but also water-retentive, antifreezing, and conductive. The hydrogels are strengthened by hydrogen bonds in dispersing medium with a clathrate framework structure. This work may inspire the development of tough and conductive gels for applications of e-skins, soft robots, and intelligent devices.
