1. A method for preparing a dual-network collagen-based supramolecular hydrogel, comprising:
(1) dispersing a silicate nanosheet in deionized water under magnetic stirring for 2 h to obtain a silicate nanosheet dispersion; dissolving a lyophilized type I collagen sponge with a phosphate buffered solution (PBS) at 4° C. in an ice bath to obtain a collagen solution with a concentration of 10 mg/mL; and adding the nanosheet dispersion to the collagen solution followed by stirring in an ice bath for 2 h to obtain a collagen-silicate nanosheet network as network A, wherein a weight ratio of the lyophilized type I collagen sponge to the silicate nanosheet is 1:0.01˜0.2;
(2) dissolving tannic acid in deionized water under ultrasonication to obtain a tannic acid solution with a concentration of 10˜40 mg/mL; adding polyethylene glycol into deionized water followed by magnetic stirring at 35° C. to obtain a polyethylene glycol solution with a concentration of 20 mg/mL; and adding the tannic acid solution to the polyethylene glycol solution in a volume ratio of 1:1 followed by stirring for 5 h to obtain a polyethylene glycol-tannic acid network as network B; and
(3) adding the network B obtained in step (2) into the network A obtained in step (1) at 25° C. followed by magnetic stirring for 2 h to obtain a reaction mixture; and adjusting pH of the reaction mixture to weak acidity followed by standing for 12 h for complete reaction to obtain the dual-network collagen-based supramolecular hydrogel.
