A reliable hydrogel that maintains its mechanical properties in an aqueous environment is demonstrated by T. Sakai and co‐workers on page 7407, by introducing hydrophilic/hydrophobic components uniformly in the network. In an aqueous environment, the aggregated hydrophobic segments serve as “mechanical fuse links”, inhibiting sudden macroscopic fracture. This system expands the scope of hydrogel applications...
A robust hydrogel with a reliable deformation region in an aqueous environment is proposed. The gel has a homogeneous network where hydrophilic/hydrophobic components are uniformly distributed. In an aqueous environment, aggregated hydrophobic segments serve as “mechanical fuse links,” inhibiting sudden macroscopic fracture. The gel endures threefold stretching for more than 100 cycles in water without...
