Fig. 2: Mechanical properties of the RHOCF.

a Tensile stress-strain curves of the PZS, PZS/PVA, and RHOCF samples. b Effect of bismuth ion contents on the tensile properties of hydrogel films. c Comparison of tensile strength and toughness properties between the RHOCF and other reported hydrogels reinforced by different strategies, including entanglement-enhanced, nano/micro-composited, peptide-bridged, self-assembled, microphase-separated, and ion-crosslinked. The detailed data are summarized in Supplementary Table 1. d Cyclic loading-unloading curves of the RHOCF. e Resilience of the RHOCF calculated from the corresponding cyclic loading-unloading curves. f Comprehensive mechanical properties of the RHOCF compared with other enhanced hydrogels reported in the literature.
