Multi-scale multi-mechanism design of tough hydrogels: building dissipation into stretchy networks
TL;DR: It is shown that tough hydrogels generally possess mechanisms to dissipate substantial mechanical energy but still maintain high elasticity under deformation, and a particularly promising strategy for the design is to implement multiple mechanisms across multiple length scales into nano-, micro-, meso-, and macro-structures of hydrogel.

Double‐Network Hydrogels with Extremely High Mechanical Strength
Journal ArticleDOI
A polymer gel with electrically driven motility
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a chemomechanical system of this sort based on a synthetic polymer gel, which is anionic, and positively charged surfactant molecules can therefore bind to its surface, inducing local shrinkage by decreasing the difference in osmotic pressure between the gel interior and the solution outside.
