We proposed a novel strategy in the fabrication of biodegradable poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylamide)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (P(AAc-co-Am)/PVA) double network (DN) hydrogels with good mechanical and self-healing properties. In the DN hydrogel system, P(AAc-co-Am) polymers form a network through the ionic coordinates between –COO– and Fe3+ and hydrogen bonding between –COOH and –CONH2, while another network is fabricated by the complexation between PVA and borax. The influences of the composition on the rheological behaviors and mechanical properties of the synthesized DN hydrogels were investigated. The rheological measurements revealed that the viscoelasticity and stiffness of the P(AAc-co-Am)/PVA DN hydrogels increase as the acrylamide and Fe3+ concentrations increase. At 0.05 mmol of Fe3+ and 50% of acrylamide, tensile strength and elongation at break of P(AAc-co-Am)/PVA DN hydrogels could reach 329.5 KPa and 12.9 mm/mm, respectively. These properties arise from the dynamic reversible bonds existed in the P(AAc-co-Am)/PVA DN hydrogels. These reversible bonds also give good self-healing properties, and the maximum self-healing efficiency of P(AAc-co-Am)/PVA DN hydrogels is up to 96.4%. The degradation test of synthesized DN hydrogels was also conducted under simulated physiological conditions and the weight loss could reach 74% in the simulated intestinal fluid. According to the results presented here, the synthesized P(AAc-co-Am)/PVA DN hydrogels have a potential application prospect in various biomedical fields.

Abstract Lignin has been used as a sustainable and eco-friendly filler in composite fibers. However, lignin aggregation occurred at high lignin content, which significantly hindered the further enhancement of fiber performance. The incorporation of graphene oxide (GO) enhanced the mechanical properties of the lignin/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) fibers and affected their structure. With the GO content increasing from 0 to 0.2%, the tensile strength of 5% lignin/PVA fibers increased from 491 MPa to 631 MPa, and Young's modulus increased from 5.91 GPa to 6.61 GPa. GO reinforced 30% lignin/PVA fibers also showed the same trend. The tensile strength increased from 455 MPa to 553 MPa, and Young's modulus increased from 5.39 GPa to 7 GPa. The best mechanical performance was observed in PVA fibers containing 5% lignin and 0.2% GO, which had an average tensile strength of 631 MPa and a Young’s modulus of 6.61 GPa. The toughness values of these fibers are between 9.9-15.6 J/g, and the fibrillar and ductile fracture microstructure were observed. Structure analysis of fibers showed that GO reinforced 5% lignin/PVA fibers had higher crystallinity, and evidence of hydrogen bonding among GO, lignin, and PVA in the gel fibers was revealed. Further, water resistance and swelling behavior of composite PVA fibers were studied to further evidence the structure change of composite fibers.
