Abstract: Abstract Nanocomposite hydrogels were prepared by temperature-induced self-assembly of agarose and diphenylalanine (FF) mixtures in water. We investigated the mechanical and thermal properties, and the structure of agarose/FF composite systems. The FF assembly was significantly… read more here.

Abstract: The toughness of double-network gels is conventionally evaluated by comparison of their hysteresis energies under uniaxial cyclic deformation. A shortcoming of this approach is that it does not allow comparison of mechanical properties of gels… read more here.
