Abstract
) on various substrates. Additionally, the composite hydrogels exhibited excellent water retention, thermal stability, and resilience, making them promising for various potential applications. Moreover, the properties of the composite hydrogels could be facilely and finely tuned by varying the oxidation degree of OSA and ratio of each component. Thus, the presented strategy could enrich the construction as well as application of biopolymer-based self-healing hydrogels.
