Abstract

-PBLA) co-networks with tailored compositions, yielding improved and tailorable mechanical properties. This approach affords hydrogels with increased strength and toughness while retaining the networks' swelling ability. This research presents a promising avenue for developing robust photocrosslinkable hydrogels with broad practical applications.
