Strong, tough, stretchable, and self-adhesive hydrogels are designed with intrinsically unstructured proteins. The extraordinary mechanical properties exhibited by these materials are enabled by an integration of toughening mechanisms that maintain high elasticity and dissipate mechanical energy within the protein networks.
具有强韧、可拉伸和自粘性的水凝胶是通过设计具有无规结构的蛋白质来实现的。这些材料表现出的非凡机械性能得益于增韧机制的整合,这些机制可以在蛋白质网络中保持高弹性并耗散机械能。
