Abstract: Due to their self-recovery ability and fatigue resistance, double-network (DN) hydrogels with hybrid ionically-covalently crosslinking have received wide attention. In this work, by a simple "one-pot" method, a novel kind of hybrid ionic-covalent chitosan/polysulfobetaine (CS/PSBMA)… read more here.
