Hydrogels with multifunctional properties such as biocompatibility, adhesion, and self-healing inherent antibacterial are of great significance in biomedical applications, especially for wound dressings drug release. However, it remains a significant challenge to combine all these one-component hydrogel system. Furthermore, most injectable hydrogels mechanically weak not self-healing, which limits their applications dressings. Herein, we designed tunable two-layer structure that endows the...
