A facile one-step radiation method is first developed to synthesize agarose/polyacrylamide (AG/PAM) double-network (DN) hydrogel. Compared to other synthetic methods of DN hydrogels, our synthesis method endows the resultant AG/PAM DN hydrogel with not only top-level tensile properties with a tensile strength of 1263 ± 59 kPa and an elongation at break of 3406 ± 143%, but also highest compression properties with a compression strength of 140 ± 3 MPa and a fracture compression strain of above 99.9%. An expanding-necking phenomenon during compression process of AG/PAM DN hydrogel were observed. We propose a chain pushing-in model to interpret the energy dissipation mechanism accounting for the super-compressibility of AG/PAM DN hydrogel. This novel radiation synthesis strategy provides an insight into the development of DN hydrogels with extremely excellent mechanical properties.
一种简单的一步辐射法被首次开发用于合成琼脂糖/聚丙烯酰胺(AG/PAM)双网络(DN)水凝胶。与其他 DN 水凝胶的合成方法相比,我们的合成方法不仅赋予所得的 AG/PAM DN 水凝胶具有顶级的拉伸性能,其拉伸强度为 1263 ± 59 kPa,断裂伸长率为 3406 ± 143%,而且还具有最高的压缩性能,压缩强度为 140 ± 3 MPa,断裂压缩应变超过 99.9%。在 AG/PAM DN 水凝胶的压缩过程中观察到了颈缩现象。我们提出了一个链推进模型来解释能量耗散机制,该机制解释了 AG/PAM DN 水凝胶的超压缩性。这种新的辐射合成策略为开发具有极佳机械性能的 DN 水凝胶提供了新的思路。
