Abstract

Abstract : A strategy to improve the strength and self-healing properties of magnetic hydrogels while conferring cytocompatibility and 3D printability. Abstract : Herein, we have fabricated a novel robust self-healing magnetic double-network hydrogel by multiple interactions between bondable magnetic Fe3 O4 and chitosan–polyolefin matrix, and the hydrogel also exhibits an excellent magnetogenic effect and MR imageability. The practical potential of the magnetic double-network hydrogel is further revealed by its 3D-printing performance.
