Illustration of the healing mechanism of functionalized graphene oxide crosslinked polyacrylamide hydrogel. Bonding mechanism of (a) fresh hydrogel sample, (b) cut sample, and (c) healed sample. The polymer chains (line) undergoe reversible dynamic hydrogen bonding with the polar OH groups of GO surfaces (rectangle shape).
