Graphene oxide/polyacrylamide/aluminum ion‐crosslinked carboxymethyl hemicelluloses (GO/PAM/Al 3+ ‐CMH) nanocomposite hydrogels were prepared by introducing GO into double PAM/CMH hydrogels followed by ionically crosslinking of Al 3+ . The combination of double network and nanofiller reinforcement endowed them with high strength and excellent elasticity. These as‐prepared hydrogels have promising applications in bioengineering and drug‐delivery system.
