- W2893193082 abstract "Many biological materials, such as the squid beak and the spinal disc, have a combination of stiff and soft parts with very different mechanical properties, for example, the elastic modulus (stiffness) of the stiffest part of the squid beak is about 100 times that of the softest part. Researchers have attempted to mimic such structures using hydrogels but have not succeeded in synthesizing bulk gels with such large variations in moduli. Here, we present a general approach that can be used to form hydrogels with two or more zones having appreciably different mechanical characters. For this purpose, we use a technique developed in our lab for creating hybrid hydrogels with distinct zones. For the soft zone of the gel, we form a polymer network using a conventional acrylic monomer [ N, N'-dimethylacrylamide (DMAA)] and with laponite (LAP) nanoparticles as the cross-linkers. For the stiff zone, we combine DMAA, LAP, and a methacrylated silica precursor ([3-(methacryloyloxy)-propyl]trimethoxy-silane). When this mixture is polymerized, nanoscale silica particles (∼300 nm in diameter) are formed, and these serve as additional cross-links between the polymer chains, making this network very stiff. The unique character of each zone is preserved in the hybrid gel, and different zones are covalently linked to each other, thereby ensuring robust interfaces. Rheological measurements show that the elastic modulus of the stiff zone can be more than 100 times that of the soft zone. This ratio of moduli is the highest reported to date in a single, continuous gel and is comparable to the ratio in the squid beak. We present different variations of our soft-stiff hybrid gels, including multizone cylinders and core-shell discs. Such soft-stiff gels could have utility in bioengineering, such as in interfacing stiff medical implants with soft tissues." @default.
