Fig. 6: Generality of VTSE strategy in preparing high-performance PVA gels.
From: Mechanically robust eutectogels enabled by precisely engineered crystalline domains
Engineering tensile stress-strain curves and the corresponding Young’s modulus and toughness of PVA gels using different poor solvents: a, b Gly/TMAC eutectogels; c, d Gly organogels; e, f H2O/NaCl hydrogels. Data are presented as mean values ± SD, n = 3. g Comparison of Young’s modulus ranges of LR-PVA hydrogels, organogels, and eutectogels prepared via the VTSE strategy, highlighting the advantages of eutectogels in terms of mechanical properties.
