Abstract
A supramolecular double network hydrogel is presented by physical interpenetration of DNA and cucurbit[8]uril networks. In addition to exhibiting an increase in strength and thermal stability, the double network hydrogel possesses excellent properties such as stretchability, ductility, shear-thinning, and thixotropy. Moreover, it is enzymatically responsive to both nuclease and cellulase, as well as small molecules, showing great potential as a new soft material scaffold.
