a Stress–strain curves of DC(60) (red line), SCP(60) (blue line), and SC(EA-BA-DMAA) (black lines). b Plots of toughness (Gf) versus weight fraction of the secondary network (w) of SCP(w) (blue circles), SC(EA-BA) and pDMAA. c Plots of Gf versus Young’s modulus (E) of SCP(w) (blue circles) and SC(EA-BA-DMAA) (black circles). d Stress–strain curves of DC(w) (red lines) and SC(DMAA) and SC(EA-BA) (black lines). e Plots of Gf versus the weight fraction of the secondary network (w) of DC(w) (red circles), SC(EA-BA) and SC(DMAA) (black circles). f Plots of Gf versus E of DC(60) (red circle), SCP(60) (blue circle), SC(EA-BA-DMAA), SC(DMAA) and SC(EA-BA) (black circles). g, h Stress (σ)-strain (λ) curves of SCP(60) (blue lines) and DC(60) (red lines) obtained from the cyclic tensile tests. i Plots of hysteresis loss versus λ for SCP(60) (blue circles) and DC(60) (red circles). The strain ratios were normalized by the elongation ratio at break.
