Summary The interpenetrating network structure was used to control mechanical properties of hydrogels based on poly(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) (first network (A) or second network (B)) and poly(glycerol methacrylate) (PGMA) (network B). In order to understand the structure, mechanical and...
