Extracellular matrix-inspired single-network gels with tunable tissue-like toughness and viscoelasticity for high-fidelity organ phantoms
Surgical training phantoms are widely used for high-fidelity clinical training, human–machine interaction, and robotic manipulation. However, existing silicone- and hydrogel-based phantoms are limited by excessive elastic response, mechanical fragility, and rapid dehydration, resulting in inaccurate tactile feedback du...
