To address these challenges, the fabrication of physically cross-linked hydrogels with superior mechanical performance through eco-friendly, facile, and cost-effective methods without employing any toxic chemicals is of considerable interest. In this study, fully physically cross-linked double-network hydrogels with ultra-high mechanical properties were successfully prepared using a simple and environmentally friendly approach. The hydrogels were based on poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA), agar, and tannic acid (TA), without the use of any toxic reagents. Additionally, a silver nanocomposite hydrogel fabricated by immersing the prepared hydrogel in an aqueous solution of silver nitrate (AgNO<sub>3</sub>). The optimized PVA/Agar/TA double-network hydrogel exhibited outstanding mechanical properties, including a high tensile strength of 9.66 MPa and a superior fracture toughness of 16.51 MJ/m³. These values further increased to 12 MPa and 19.5 MJ/m³, respectively, for the PVA/Agar/TA/Ag nanocomposite hydrogel. Moreover, due to the reversible multiple hydrogen bonds within the network structures, the hydrogels demonstrated excellent self-recovery behavior and remarkable anti-fatigue performance. The prepared hydrogels exhibited notable antioxidant activity and excellent biocompatibility. The incorporation of silver nanoparticles (Ag-nanoparticles) further enhanced their antibacterial properties.

An anhydride maleic copolymer was used as a coupling agent, while glycerol was introduced for the formation of thermoplastic starch (TPS) and, consequently, the development of LDPE/TPS formulations. Loquat exhibits antioxidant activity, a property that is effectively transferred to the manufactured formulations. The antioxidant performance of these materials was assessed through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), demonstrating an increase in oxidation induction time (OIT) from 1.6 min of neat LDPE up to 31.1 min in the loquat formulations. Also, the onset oxidation temperature (OOT) was extended up 269.7 °C in contrast to 209.7 °C for neat LDPE. These results underscore the potential benefits of incorporating loquat byproducts as functional additives in sustainable polymer formulations. The compatibilization strategies applied enabled the optimization of the mechanical properties of the loquat-based formulations as observed in microscopy. Mechanical properties were enhanced with an elongation at break that reached values of up to 40.0% in the compatibilized systems. Tensile strength also improved, reaching up to 6.3 MPa in the loquat-containing formulations.
