摘要：

The role of innovative double-Network (DN) gels, that show necking phenomenon, in the study for mechanical properties of polymer networks was analyzed. It was observed that the large deformation of softened DN gels produced by necking was almost reversible. It was found that softened DN gels, produced by the necking, exhibit an excellent extensibility compared with the unusual poly-(acrylamide) (PAAm) single network (SN) gels. It was shown that the boundary zone between the necked and un-necked regions during the necking propagation of the gels becomes remarkably opaque, indicating that inhomogeneity with a characteristic size comparable with the wavelengths of visible light arises in the boundary zone. The existence of Rouse-like relaxation modes of PAAm chains indicated that the DN gels contain 'void regions' where PAAm chains behave like in solution.
