Abstract:
\ nUnderstanding hydrogel-hydrogel adhesion is critical for designing mat erials used in biomedical\, electronic\, and energy applications\, where p recise interfacial bonding is essential. Â Traditional adhesion tests (pee l\, pull\, lap shear) often fail to accurately measure adhesion strength a nd toughness due to energy dissipation in the soft hydrogel substrates\, u nderscoring the need for more reliable evaluation methods. Â Hence\, the p roposed study aims to conduct a comprehensive investigation that determine s the interfacial fracture toughness of hydrogel-hydrogel adhesion under b oth mod-I and mixed-mode fracture conditions. Â For more details regarding this abstract\, please contact: vchalivendra@umassd.edu or scunha@umassd. edu. Â Thank you.
