Abstract
Double network hydrogels (DNHs) are strong and tough materials that surpass the performance of conventional hydrogels, making them highly attractive for various applications in biomedicine, membrane technology, and energy storage. The number of suitable systems known so far is rather limited. We, have recently introduced a poly(2-oxazoline) (POx)-based DNH combined with poly (acrylic acid) that has a superior compressive strength compared to common DNHs entirely composed of two poly(acrylate) networks. To further explore the potential of cross-linked POx as primary networks for DNHs, a series of different poly (acrylate)s was employed as secondary network and the resulting DNHs were investigated regarding their mechanical properties.
