Mechanically Robust and Underwater‐Stable Hydrogels via Synergistic Molecular Locking and Topological Entanglement

ABSTRACT Highly entangled hydrogels typically suffer from swelling‐induced dilution of chain entanglements in aqueous environments, leading to compromised energy dissipation and mechanical integrity. Herein, we report an underwater‐stable and highly entangled poly(acrylamide–acry...

Anion–π Interaction‐Regulated Ion Generation and High Piezoionic Response in Ultrasoft Low‐Salinity Hydrogels

ABSTRACT Anion–π interactions play important roles in underwater cohesion and selective ion recognition and transport in biological systems. Inspired by these functions, we report the first hydrogel system employing anion–π interactions as a design motif for piezoionic energy con...
