Polymer Chemistry Communications contain novel scientific work of such importance that rapid publication is desirable. Authors should briefly indicate in a covering letter the reasons why they feel ...

The result is a highly ordered structure with densely entangled polymers between nanosheets, not only improving the mechanical properties of the hydrogel but also allowing the material to self-heal.

While these interactions are known to play critical roles in biological processes such as enzyme catalysis and ion transport, research exploring their application in synthetic polymers remains scarce.
