Figure 4.

Adaptable biomaterials with stress–relaxation. Schematic illustration of hydrogel networks built from reversible linkages, as well as their stress–relaxability characterized by mechanical analysis. Reversible linkages can be formed either by noncovalent interactions (e.g., calcium cross-linking, host–guest interaction) or reversible covalent bonds (e.g., Schiff-base linkages).
