Probing the structure and mechanics of intertwined homo- and hetero-supramolecular gel noodles
Twist-and-lock assembly of supramolecular gel noodles creates hierarchical filaments that combine strength and function. We studied twisting mechanics, crossover spacing, tensile strength, and stimuli-responsiveness to enable targeted applications.
