Paper published
Simon's, Robert's and Rob's paper on soft, tough and highly swelling composite materials is now published in Soft Matter.
Simon's, Robert's and Rob’s paper titled “Hydroelastomers: soft, tough, highly swelling composites“ has just been published in Soft Matter. The paper is based on Simon's Master's thesis in our lab!
Embedding highly swelling hydrogel particles inside tough, water-permeable, elastomeric matrices results in composites, which are called hydroelastomers. Find out more about the astonishing mechanical properties of these composites such as high stretchability and stability here:
