Highly distensible nanostructured elastic hydrogels from AB diblock and ABA triblock copolymer melt blends†
Abstract
A new structural motif for the generation of highly distensible, highly elastic, nanostructured hydrogels is presented. Based on the swelling of vitrified melt-phase blends of sphere-forming polystyrene–poly(ethylene oxide) diblock and polystyrene–poly(ethylene oxide)–polystyrene
