  • Are alginate/polyacrylamide hydrogels strong?
  • We successfully synthesized a family of alginate/polyacrylamide hydrogels using various multivalent cations. These hydrogels exhibit exceptional mechanical properties. In particular, we discovered that the hydrogels cross-linked by trivalent cations are much stronger than those cross-linked by divalent cations.
  • Can polyacrylamide hydrogels be synthesized using multivalent cations?
  • ADDITION/CORRECTION This article has been corrected. View the notice. We successfully synthesized a family of alginate/polyacrylamide hydrogels using various multivalent cations. These hydrogels exhibit exceptional mechanical properties.
  • Are poly(acrylamide)/alginate double network hydrogels crosslinked?
  • Conclusions Poly (acrylamide)/alginate double network hydrogels are commonly crosslinked through ionic interaction by introducing multivalent cations into the hydrogel. Different ion sources and preparation methods have emerged during the last decade, each with its own advantages and limitations.
  • Can ionically crosslinked alginate network improve mechanical properties of ALG/PAAM hydrogel?
  • However, most of the research developed to enhance the first ionically crosslinked alginate network limited of using single cation; designing new method according to the special molecular structure of alginate to further improve the mechanical properties of Alg/PAAm hydrogel is desirable.
