Large amplitude oscillatory shear behavior of thermoresponsive hydrogels: Single versus double network

Abstract: Double network (DN) hydrogels have been recognized as new tough materials for several industries due to their precise structural platforms and significant properties. However, a comprehensive understanding of microstructural changes of DN hydrogels under large deformations is required to extend their applications. In this work, we use the large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) technique to study the nonlinear response of a thermoresponsive κ-carrageenan/polyacrylamide DN system and its nanocomposite containi… Show more

“…It is worth noting that for the GN-ALG-DN hydrogel, the changing trend of the S factor with strain amplitudes is similar to that of the GN-SN hydrogel, which implies that the nonlinear elasticity in the form of strain stiffening is most likely attributed to the increasing contacts between the semiflexible GN nanofibrils within the gel network, thus inducing the transition from a bending-dominated to a stretching-dominated deformation. Similar behaviors of intracycle strain stiffening have been reported in these hydrogels with fibrin or filamentous protein networks. ,, In addition, at 50% strain, the S factor values for the GN-ALG-DN and GN-SN hydrogels are significantly lower than those of the ALG-SN hydrogel, suggesting a lower degree of nonlinearity, which further confirms the greater ability of the GN fibrillar network to resist large deformations. This is in good agreement with the results of Lissajous plots and linear SAOS rheology (Figures A,B, and D–I).…”

“…In order to obtain such quantitative parameters for multicomponent hydrogels, researchers propose mechanisms of shear-induced temporary structure formation and reformation based on increased or decreased molecular interactions. For example, the amplification of energy dissipation [ 16 ], the shifting of the nonlinear behavior onset and increase in yield stress [ 17 ], and the abrupt yielding of the gel structure as a function of the protein fractionation [ 18 ] from the LAOS analysis have all been reported.…”
