Resilient hydrogels are of great interest in soft tissue applications, such as soft tissue engineering and wound healing, with their biomimetic mechanical and hydration properties. A critical aspect in designing hydrogels for healthcare is their functionalities to control the surrounding biological environments to optimize the healing process. Herein, we have created an elastomer-clay nanocomposite hydrogel system with biomimetic mechanical behavior and sustained drug delivery of bioactive components and malodorous diamine-controlling properties. These hydrogels were prepared by a combined approach of melt intercalation of poly(ethylene glycol) and montmorillonite clay, followed by
