The mechanical properties of self-assembling hydrogels can be improved through conjugation to a covalent polymer network. These hybrid-hydrogel networks and be made through (A) direct conjugation of peptides to the polymer network or (B) growing peptides from functional groups on the polymer backbone. Panel A is based on concepts from reference 340 and Panel B is based on concepts from reference 341.
