The effect of adding n-vinyl pyrrolidone to PEGDA hydrogels on defect tolerance. Fracture energy is increased by introducing sacrificial bonds via increased hydrogen bonding, thereby increasing defect tolerance. The sacrificial hydrogen bonds are created by water bridging of the carbonyl of the PEGDA ester and the carbonyl of the NVP amide groups.
