Thermosensitive P(AAc‐co‐NIPAm) Hydrogels Display Enhanced Toughness and Self‐Healing via Ion–Ligand Interactions

Hydrogels containing thermosensitive polymers such as poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (P(NIPAm)) may contract during heating and show great promise in fields ranging from soft robotics to thermosensitive biosensors. However, these gels often exhibit low stiffness, tensile strength, and mechanical toughn...
