Hydrogels are chemically or physically crosslinked polymer materials with three-dimensional network structures. The polymer network of hydrogels contains a large amount of water and can maintain a certain geometric shape, which makes hydrogels a kind of special semi-solid materials. Because of many excellent properties, hydrogels have raised great interests from industrial, agricultural and biomedical fields. However, traditional hydrogels generally have poor mechanical properties and their applications are limited. Therefore, more and more researchers at home and abroad are attracted hydrogels and devoted themselves to improve the mechanical strength of hydrogel. In this paper, the experimental and theoretical research works of several major categories of high strength hydrogel nanocomposites in recent years are summarized. The research results in mechanical properties of nanocomposite gels are analyzed. And their future development is prospected.
