a Schematic illustration and images of the dynamic puncture test for PL-gel. b Quasi-static puncture force-displacement curves and c puncture energy for the organic gel, PD-gel, and PL-gel. d Dynamic puncture force-displacement curves and e quasi-static puncture energy for the organic gel, PD-gel, and PL-gel. Side view of f PD-gel and g PL-gel post-puncture, along with corresponding microstructural morphology of the fracture. h Comparison of the maximum puncture force and puncture energy of PL-gel with other reported gels28,29,30. Data in (c, e) are presented as the means ± SDs from n = 3 independent samples.
