This approach successfully created supramolecular biocomposite hydrogels assisted by Ca2+ complexes (p-αCD/p-AADA/CAC/Ca2+) with improved mechanical properties relative to p-αCD/p-AADA hydrogels; the toughness was increased 6-fold, from 1 to 6 MJ/m3. The mechanical properties were improved because of the disruption of the intramolecular H-bonding within the CAC by Ca2+ and subsequent complex formation between the carboxyl groups of CAC and p-AADA. This mechanism is a new approach for improving the mechanical properties of hydrogels t
