Abstract
Current eutectogels still exhibit shortcomings in weak mechanical strength and toughness. Here, a new class of eutectogels facilely prepared by leveraging abundant noncovalent crosslinks between deep eutectic solvents (DES) and polymer chains. The eutectogels with more than 60 wt% liquid exhibit enormous Young’s modulus (655 MPa), fracture strength (16 MPa) and toughness (46 MJ/m3).
