Abstract

The invention relates to a high-strength hydrogel and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the steps of directly mixing a polymer, a monomer, an initiator, a cross-linking agent and water once, dissolving all the substances to form a homogeneous solution under a certain simulation condition, and then initiating and polymerizing by using heat or light to obtain the high-strength hydrogel, wherein the polymer is needed for preparation of the hydrogel and used for forming a first double network of a dual-network hydrogel; the monomer is used for polymerizing and forming a second double network of the dual-network hydrogel; the initiator is used for initiating the monomer to be polymerized; the cross-linking agent is used for performing cross-linking reaction in a monomer polymerizing process so as to form the second double network. According to the preparation method, a one-pot method is used for preparing the high-strength hydrogel, so that the method is simple and practicable; the prepared high-strength hydrogel has the characteristics of high strength and high toughness; a tensile strength of the gel is 0.6-1.2MPa, a tensile modulus is 100-200 KPa and a tensile strain reaches 1000-2680%; the prepared high-strength hydrogel can be widely applied to the fields of tissue repair, artificial organ, drug sustained release, sensors and the like.
