Crosslinking strategies for forming injectable double network hydrogels. (A Hydrophobically associated and covalently crosslinked POEGMA hydrogels: by increasing the concentration of the hydrophobic co-monomer, gel modulus is increased. (B) Dual covalently crosslinked hydrogels composed of aldehyde/hydrazide functionalized PNIPAM and thiol/maleimide functionalized PVP: the presence of both kinetically orthogonal crosslinking groups results in enhanced mechanics compared with either single network alone.
