Abstract:The characteristic of materials with special strength and toughness is distinguished by the uniform arrangement of their multi‐level structures, which is a key factor that significantly affects their mechanical behavior and overall performance. This work explores the challenges and potential solutions to enhance the mechanical properties of hydrogels through the construction of multi‐scale, multi‐layered ordered uniform structures. A novel approach termed macromolecular network uniformization (MNU) that utiliz… Show more
