A research team at Hokkaido University in Japan has developed a new type of hydrogel composite that is five times stronger than steel. "Fiber-reinforced soft composites" will hydrogel and weave The woven fiber fabric is mixed so that it has the versatility of the hydrogel material and high strength.

The hydrogel is composed of hydrophilic polymer chains, and its 90% component is water, and its robustness and durability are insufficient. However, researchers have succeeded in developing glass fibers by adding glass fibers therein. A strong, flexible and wear-resistant material. According to the research team, the “hybrid hydrogel” is stronger than ever, and the bonding between the fiber and the hydrogel and within the hydrogel is unprecedentedly stable. The blend of gel polymer and single-component glass fiber (diameter 10 microns) is 25 times stronger than glass fiber fabric, 100 times more than traditional hydrogel, and five times as much as carbon steel.

Professor Jian Ping Gong, a researcher at Hokkaido University, said, "This environmentally-friendly fiber-enhanced hydrogel has a water content of 40%." Because of its reliability, durability, and flexibility, it has a variety of potential applications. In addition to fashion and manufacturing use, it can be used as an artificial ligament and tendon to withstand strong load tension.
