In situ mechanical reinforcement of polymer hydrogels via metal-coordinated crosslink mineralization

Biological organic-inorganic materials, such as self-assembling metal-reinforced mussel holdfast threads, remain a popular source of inspiration for materials design and engineering. Here the authors show that metal-coordinate polymer networks can be utilized as simple composite scaffolds for direct...
