Abstract

A strategy based on the physical association of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) end-groups was designed to reinforce shear-thinning hydrogels. Hydrogels made of the POSS-capped copolymer had significantly enhanced mechanical strength and thermal stability. This strategy provides a simple and effective method to improve the properties of shear-thinning hydrogels by tailoring the end-groups of a polymer.
