TLDR
Stretchable UV-curable (SUV) elastomers can be stretched by up to 1100% and are suitable for digital-light-processing (DLP)-based 3D-printing technology, which enables the direct creation of highly deformable complex 3D hollow structures such as balloons, soft actuators, grippers, and buckyball electronical switches.Abstract:

Highly stretchable and tough hydrogels
Jeong-Yun Sun,Xuanhe Zhao,Widusha R. K. Illeperuma,Ovijit Chaudhuri,Kyu Hwan Oh,David J. Mooney,David J. Mooney,Joost J. Vlassak,Zhigang Suo +8 more
TL;DR: The synthesis of hydrogels from polymers forming ionically and covalently crosslinked networks is reported, finding that these gels’ toughness is attributed to the synergy of two mechanisms: crack bridging by the network of covalent crosslinks, and hysteresis by unzipping thenetwork of ionic crosslinks.
