Abstract in brief

  • The study presents a new type of hydrogel that is both stiff (with a modulus of 50MPa) and capable of healing itself quickly (up to 100% efficiency), achieved through polymer entanglements in nanoconfined environments created by synthetic nanosheets.
  • This hydrogel's unique properties are made possible by polymerizing a concentrated monomer solution within a scaffold of delaminated nanosheets, which are shear-oriented into a monodomain, allowing the gel to combine high strength with self-healing and strong adhesion across various substrates.
  • The nanoconfinement method not only enhances mechanical and self-healing properties but also enables adding new functionalities, such as embedding colloidal materials (e.g., MXenes), making these hydrogels suitable for advanced applications like soft robotics, 3D printing, and biomedical devices.]
