Self-healing and easy-to-shape mineralized hydrogels for iontronics

Abstract

Self-healing and easy-to-shape mineralized hydrogels for iontronics were fabricated through physically cross-linked PVP and CaCO3.

A facile method to fabricate multifunctional polyvinyl alcohol mineralized hydrogels with high strength and adaptable shape

“…The results were consistent well with those of SEM and XRD. Inorganic particles can be used as fillers to improve the properties of hydrogels 29 . The introduction of a small amount of CaCO 3 does not affect the crystallization of PVA, and plays a certain role in enhancing the mechanical properties.…”

“…Inorganic particles can be used as fillers to improve the properties of hydrogels. 29 The introduction of a small amount of CaCO 3 does not affect the crystallization of PVA, and plays a certain role in enhancing the mechanical properties. Moreover, the mechanical properties of the as-obtained hydrogels are higher than those of some reported physically and chemically crosslinked PVA hydrogels.…”

“…Lei et al 3 prepared biomimetically inspired supramolecular mineral hydrogels containing amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) nanoparticles by physical cross‐linking of polyacrylic acid and alginate. Cao et al 29 reported a series of self‐healing hydrogel, which were consist of polyvinylpyrrolidone and carbonate. Because of the dynamic reversible property, the resulted hydrogels were shapeable, stretchable, self‐healing and thixotropic properties.…”

Ultrafast Fabrication of Self-Healing and Injectable Carboxymethyl Chitosan Hydrogel Dressing for Wound Healing

“…In accordance with other hydrogels based on coordination bonds, the mechanical moduli of CMCh-Fe were highly dependent upon the time scale of deformation. 36,37 CMCh-Fe hydrogels showed properties like those of a viscous fluid when the frequency was low due to the stress dissipation caused by junction disintegration of the network. When the strain frequency became higher, the elastomeric response of the hydrogel was evoked, which behaved like an elastic solid.…”

A novel CT-responsive hydrogel for the construction of an organ simulation phantom for the repeatability and stability study of radiomic features

“…Finally, by changing the temperature of external conditions, an ionic crosslinking network is established in the covalent crosslinking network. Among them, the secondary network cross-linked by calcium ions belongs to reversible dynamic cross-linking, and some calcium ions in the free state will be induced with sulfate ions in the initiator to generate calcium sulfate in situ, [28][29][30][31] which enables the hydrogel to accurately adjust the CT value through the intensity of calcium ions in the secondary network. This process allows accurate control of the CT value of the hydrogel, making it suitable for use as a model material with characteristics similar to human tissue for medical imaging and analysis purposes.…”
