Abstract
Soak n' Boost: A universal strategy to manufacture hybrid double-network hydrogels with eminent mechanical properties is developed by postformation of the chitosan microcrystalline and chain-entanglement physical networks via simple treatment of the chitosan composite hydrogels using alkaline and saline solutions. The strategy may open an avenue to fabricate multifarious double-network hydrogels for promising applications in antifouling materials, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. As a service to our authors and readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied by the authors. Such materials are peer reviewed and may be re-organized for online delivery, but are not copy-edited or typeset.…
