Hydrogels are highly porous three-dimensional crosslinked polymer networks consisting of hydrophilic polymers, employed most practically in medicine and industry, often as biosensors. Simple hydrogels suffer limitations in their mechanical properties, such as tensile and compression, and freeze at s...
