  • Effect of Relative Strength of Two Networks on the Internal Fracture Process of Double Network Hydrogels As Revealed by in Situ Small-Angle X-ray Scattering

説明

Double network hydrogels (DN gels) exhibit extraordinarily high strength and toughness by interplay of the two contrasting networks: the rigid, brittle network serves as a sacrificial bond that fractures at a relatively low strain, while the soft, stretchable network serves as hidden length that sustains stress by large extension afterward. The internal fracture process of the brittle network strongly depends on the relative strength of the two networks. In this study, we study the internal fracturing process of typical DN gels that show yielding or necking under uniaxial stretching using in situ small-angle X-ray scattering. Two samples consisting of the same brittle first network from poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid) but stretchable second network from poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) of different concentrations were adopted. We found that (1) the brittle network shows nonaffine deformation even far below the yield strain by local fracture; (2) for the sample of low second network concentration, significant strain amplification occurs around the submicrometer-scale voids (defects) preexisting in the brittle network, which induces the fracture percolation of brittle network from voids to show the necking phenomenon; and (3) the strain amplification at voids is suppressed in the sample of high second network concentration, and fracture of brittle network occurs dispersedly, showing yielding without necking.
