Swelling-strengthening hydrogels by embedding with deformable nanobarriers

The swelling-weakening behaviour of synthetic hydrogels is a major limitation to many applications. Here, the authors report on the covalent linkage of precursor loaded liposomes which are deformed upon hydrogel swelling and release precursor to form a secondary network strengthening the hydrogel.
