Probing the Ability of Flexible Hydrogels to Protect Fragile Objects
… flexible gels can be wrapped around brittle or fragile objects (such as an egg or a fruit) and protect against impact. We study gels made by either physical crosslinking (e.g., gelatin) or chemical crosslinking (e.g., acrylamide) and also the same gels with various particulate additives. None of …
