Popis: Self-forming double-crosslinked (DC) hydrogels were designed by incorporating enzyme-mimicking metal coordination polymer crosslinks and catechol chemistry. A macromolecular tris-histidine copper complex acted both as part of the hydrogel network and as a catalyst of catechol oxidation to induce a second hydrogel network by covalent crosslinking of catechol functionalized polymers thus giving catalytic control over hydrogel crosslinking.
