Abstract The last decades have witnessed the real and huge potential applications of hydrogels in various areas,
including biomedicine, soft robotics, and flexible electronics. The fatigue of hydrogels challenges their
reliability and longevity in service, but the related works are not sufficient. In this work, stress-controlled
cyclic fatigue tests of a double-network tough hydrogel, consisting of polyacrylamide and alginate polymer
networks, under pure shear deformation are investigated. The effects of peak stress, loading rate, peak
stress holding time, and environmental relative humidity on the fatigue of the double-network tough
hydrogel are considered. The results show that with the increase in peak… More >
