Sodium alginate and carboxymethyl chitosan were used as raw materials, and the dynamic imine bonding network formed by the two was combined with the coordination bonding network formed by acrylic acid and aluminum ions. The dual-network structure of the hydrogel not only gives the hydrogel excellent self-healing properties, but also gives the hydrogel excellent mechanical properties, with a strain at break as high as 3787%. In addition, the hydrogel has the antibacterial property of inhibiting the growth of E. coli and S. aureus and good electrical conductivity.
