Strain-triggered acidification in a double-network hydrogel enabled by multi-functional transduction of molecular mechanochemistry

Abstract

Stretching or striking a hydrogel results in its acidification by up to 2 pH units. The mechanically robust hydrogel offers promise as a synthetic platform for mechanically adaptive aqueous systems.
