Thermal-driven H-bond reconfiguration for bioinspired high-strength anisotropic supramolecular hydrogels

along the pre-stretching direction, which are 2.6- and 1.7-times higher than that of the unquenched isotropic hydrogels, respectively. This general strategy is applicable to different strong hydrogen bonding supramolecular hydrogel systems. Furthermore, we fabricate anisotropic hydrogel fibers as damping materials. This general approach for the preparation of anisotropic supramolecular hydrogels shows great potential for various engineering applications, such as in the fabrication protective and cushioning materials, flexible optoelectronics, and mechano-functional scaffolds.
