Abstract

Temperature-induced globule-to-coil transition in polymers has well been studied, and it is dependent strongly on temperature in their solutions due to significantly conformational changes of polymer molecules. In this study, a scaling framework is firstly developed to investigate stress-induced glo...

The effectiveness of model is demonstrated by applying it to predict stress-induced globule-to-coil transitions in DN hydrogels and elastomers, where the theoretical results show good agreements with the experimental ones. We expect this study explores the scaling dynamics and provides an effective guidance on designing advanced ultra-high mechanical performance in DN hydrogel and elastomer.
