| Research Abstract |
Biological tissues, except for the hard skeleton, mainly consist of soft tissues that contain 50-85wt% of water. Creation of soft and wet materials with a high performance as biological soft tissues is essential to the realization of future welfare society. In this study, by controlling the structure of the polymer hydrogels, we have successfully developed various kinds of soft and wet materials having a high toughness and high performance comparable to soft biological tissue. These materials can be applied as alternative materials for soft biological tissues, such as cartilages, tendons, and blood vessels.
