摘要:
Described herein are hydrogels with improved mechanical properties. The hydrogels are composed of two polymer networks covalently crosslinked with one another. The addition of a multivalent cation and/or polycation to the hydrogels further crosslinks the polyphosphate network and can modulate the mechanical properties of the hydrogels as needed. Methods for making and using the hydrogels described herein are presented below.
