The astonishing progress in performance of hydrogel triggered by the structure evolution of cross-linking junctions

Abstract

Novel microgel composite hydrogels characterized with the structural evolution of crosslinking junctions were prepared. Under the pH stimulus, the high-strength hydrogels exhibit a drastic and sudden volume phase transition, which derives from the dissociation and association of crosslinks.
