Abstract
Polymerization of glycinamide-conjugated monomer alone in concentrated aqueous solution enables facile formation of a mechanically strong and a highly stable supramolecular polymer (SP) hydrogel because of the cooperatively hydrogen-bonded crosslinking and strengthening effect from dual amide motifs. This SP hydrogel exhibits thermoplastic processability, injectability, and self-reparability because of the dynamic destruction and reconstruction of hydrogen bonds in response to temperature change.Entities:
