Swelling/deswelling mechanism of calcium alginate gel in aqueous solutions.
To elucidate the mechanism of dimensional changes in alginate impression in solutions, the relationship between the ion concentrations in three types of solutions (nonelectrolyte and monovalent and divalent metallic salts) and change in gel volume was examined. The gel in the monovalent metallic salt solution expanded and a decrease in monovalent cation and an increase in Ca2+ were observed. Th...
متن کاملSwelling/deswelling of anionic copolymer gels.
Studies of dynamic and equilibrium swelling of ionic gels are important in understanding the diffusion of physiologically important fluids in materials for site-specific controlled drug delivery applications. The dynamic and equilibrium swelling properties of dry glassy poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid) and poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-acrylic acid) polymeric networks...
متن کاملSolvent-responsive polymer nanocapsules with controlled permeability: encapsulation and release of a fluorescent dye by swelling and deswelling.
A solvent-responsive polymer nanocapsule swells and deswells in response to a change in solvent composition, and the permeability of the shell of the nanocapsule can be controlled simply by swelling and deswelling; encapsulation and release of a fluorescent dye is achieved by a swelling-deswelling-swelling cycle.
متن کاملControlling swelling/deswelling of stimuli-responsive hydrogel nanofilms in electric fields.
The swelling/deswelling transition of pH-sensitive, electrode-grafted, hydrogel nanofilms when exposed to electric fields is studied by theoretical analysis. In acidic conditions, the response of these films to changes in pH is dominated by network-surface interactions, while intra-network electrostatic repulsions, which are highly modulated by the adsorption of salt ions, determine material re...
متن کاملDesign of Self-Oscillating Gels and Application to Biomimetic Actuators
As a novel biomimetic polymer, we have developed polymer gels with an autonomous self-oscillating function. This was achieved by utilizing oscillating chemical reactions, called the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction, which is recognized as a chemical model for understanding several autonomous phenomena in biological systems. Under the coexistence of the reactants, the polymer gel undergoes spo...
