Robust magnetic double-network hydrogels with self-healing, MR imaging, cytocompatibility and 3D printability

Herein, we have fabricated a novel robust self-healing magnetic double-network hydrogel by multiple interactions between bondable magnetic Fe 3 O 4 and chitosan-polyolefin matrix, and the hydrogel also exhibits an excellent magnetogenic effect and MR imageability. The practical potential of the magn...

Summary:Herein, we have fabricated a novel robust self-healing magnetic double-network hydrogel by multiple interactions between bondable magnetic Fe 3 O 4 and chitosan-polyolefin matrix, and the hydrogel also exhibits an excellent magnetogenic effect and MR imageability. The practical potential of the magnetic double-network hydrogel is further revealed by its 3D-printing performance. A strategy to improve the strength and self-healing properties of magnetic hydrogels while conferring cytocompatibility and 3D printability.
