Abstract
crystallization of poly(vinyl alcohol), producing a uniform organogel with hydrogen bonds between two polymers, and the organogel can be further converted into a hydrogel by solvent exchange. The composite gels exhibit excellent mechanical properties, which make them one of the best materials for additive manufacture, such as molding and 3D printing. This study develops an efficient method to fabricate polyaniline gels with good processability and multifunctions.
