“…Different from Figure 6b, GuHCl and SDS as well strongly destructed the SMGHs/KGM/KC and revealed analogously effect, with corresponding relative G ′ and G ″ responses of 15.67%, 7.68% and 17.69%, 10.41%, respectively (Figure 6c), suggesting the involvement of hydrophobic interactions to gel development. Typically, hydrogen bonds are prone to be destroyed by urea, in which less hydrogen bonds could be retained upon urea treatment (Yan, Du, et al., 2021). In this study, the relative G′ responses of ternary gels was 62.36%, while only 45.72% in SMGHs/KC gels upon urea treatment (Figure 6b,c).…”
