摘要
Recently, polymer gels have drawn much attention as scaffolds for regenerative medicines, soft actuators, and functional membranes. These applications need tough and robust polymer gels as represented by the double network gels. To fully understand this mechanism and develop further advanced polymer gels, we need to fully understand the molecular origin of fracture energy for conventional polymer gels, which is inhibited by the inherent heterogeneity. In this paper, we show the experimental results on the fracture of model polymer gels with controlled network structure, and discuss the mechanism of the fracture of polymer gels.
