Abstract: Abstract Traditional hydrophobic association (HA) hydrogels can obtain excellent mechanical properties in the presence of anionic surfactants. However, such surfactants are sensitive to salt solutions, resulting in large fluctuation of mechanical properties for hydrogels. Here,… read more here.
