This minireview provides an overview of the recent developments of bioinspired DN hydrogels defined as DN hydhydrogels that mimic the properties and/or structure of natural tissue, ranging from, e.g., anisotropically structured DNHydrogels, via ultratough energy dissipating DN Hydrogels to dynamic, reshapable DN hyd rogels.
Abstract
<p>This minireview discusses the advantages and challenges in constructing bioinspired double-network hydrogels mimicking the structure and/or properties of biological tissue.</p>
