A combined numerical and theoretical study on the strengthening and toughening mechanisms of double network hydrogels

Double network (DN) hydrogels, comprising two interpenetrating networks, exhibit superior mechanical strength and toughness compared to single-network hydrogels. Experimental studies attribute their enhanced performance to the sacrificial bonds of the first network. However, a quantitative mechanist...
