Detailed

Alginate hydrogel is a soft material with a 3D porous network structure, which has a wide range of applications in many fields such as biomedicine, optics, electricity, and carriers. However, most of the alginate hydrogels have low mechanical strength, are prone to mechanical damage during use, and their performance is greatly reduced after damage, which cannot continue to meet the requirements of use. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop and prepare hydrogel multifunctional materials with self-healing properties and high strength. Recently, the Green Biomanufacturing Research Group of the School of Life Sciences, Beijing Institute of Technology used the in-situ multilayer self-assembly technology of alginate, combined with polyacrylamide with abundant hydroxyl sites, and used a simple method to construct a high-strength self-assembly with a regular layer structure. Healing hydrogel. The characterization of the system revealed the driving mechanism of dynamic hydrogen bonding on the self-assembly of sodium alginate (SA) into a porous polyacrylamide (PAM) matrix into a layered structure. In addition, hydrogen bonds also play a key role in enhancing the self-healing effect of hydrogels, and the self-healing ability of hydrogels reaches 99%. At the same time, this ordered layer structure also enables the tensile strength of the alginate-based hydrogel to reach 266 kPa. The above work provides new ideas and methods for the development of hydrogels with orderly multilayer structures with high mechanical strength and self-healing properties, and helps to realize the diversity of hydrogel functions.
