Effect of mesoscale phase contrast on fatigue-delaying behavior of self-healing hydrogels

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: , is identified, correlated to the onset of non-affine deformation of the mesophase structure in a hydrogel without crack, which governs the slow-to-fast transition in fatigue crack growth. The detailed role played by the mesoscale structure on fatigue resistance provides design principles for developing self-healing, tough, and fatigue-resistant soft materials.
