摘　　要：Supramolecular polymer networks(SPNs)are celebrated for their dynamic nature,yet they often exhibit inadequate mechanical properties.Thus far,the quest to bolster the mechanical resilience of SPNs while preserving their dynamic character presents a formidable challenge.Herein,we introduce[2]rotaxane into SPN to serve as another cross-link,which could effectively enhance the mechanical robustness of the polymer network without losing the dynamic properties.Compared with SPN,the dually cross-linked network(DPN)demonstrates superior breaking strength,Young’s modulus,puncture force and toughness,underscoring its superior robustness.Furthermore,the cyclic tensile tests reveal that the energy dissipation capacity of DPN rivals,and in some cases surpasses,that of SPN,owing to the efficient energy dissipation pathway facilitated by[2]rotaxane.In addition,benefiting from stable topological structure of[2]rotaxane,DPN exhibits accelerated recovery from deformation,indicating superior elasticity compared to SPN.This strategy elevates the performance of SPNs across multiple metrics,presenting a promising avenue for the development of high-performance dynamic materials.
