Chemical crosslinking is the most widely used method for hydrogel preparations. We prepared a hydrogel using chitosan catechol/polyvinyl alcohol and sodium tetraborate decahydrate (Na₂B₄O₇·10H₂O). The formation of hydrogels often presents inconsistent results and issues according to the reaction scale. Therefore, we measured and analyzed the self-healing property and viscoelasticity of hydrogels attributed to scale-up synthesis using a rheometer.

In this study, two types of chitosan-catechol polymers (a-CP and b-CP) were synthesized and mixed with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and sodium tetraborate decahydrate (Na₂B4O₇·10H₂O) to form hydrogels. The characteristics of these polymers were tuned by varying the pH during their syntheses, and their structures were characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. Rheological and self-healing properties of hydrogels were evaluated. As a result, the viscoelastic modulus was improved due to the increased functional group content, and the self-healing property was excellent regardless of the functional group content.

1-octanethiol and vinyl acetate telomers ($R_8S$-nVAc) were synthesized and hydrolyzed with sodium hydroxide subsequently, 1.2-epoxyhexane was then introduced to the telomers. In addition, we prepared cotelomers of multi-alkylated nonionic surfactants with a molecular structure of xRnMA-yVA (x; hydrophobic group, y; hydrophilic group, MA; methacrylic ester, VA; vinyl alcohol, R; and alkyl group) and cross-linked with sodium tetraborate decahydrate. Their active surface properties were investigated by several techniques such as surface tension, foaming property, and emulsification power measurements. The surface tension of $R_8S$-8.8VA decreased without the introduction of 1.2-Epoxy hexane, and the degree of emulsification and foaming abilities of $R_8S$-8.8VA increased without the introduction of 1.2-Epoxy hexane. However, the differences were insignificant. The epoxy groups were attached to a $R_8S$-8.8VA cotelomer with a limited variation of the active surface properties. The surface tension of $1.1R_6MA$-8.8VA decreased after cross-linking subsequently, the degree of emulsification and foaming abilities of $1.1R_6MA$-8.8VA increased after cross-linking. However, there was no clear difference between them. The B-O bonds were attached to a $1.1R_6MA$-8.8VA cotelomer with a limited variation of the active surface properties.
