Compression elastic modulus of neutral and protonated poly(N-vinylimidazole) hydrogels

Swelling Characterization of Nanocomposite Hydrogels of Poly (acrylamide-N-vinylimidazole)

In this study, a hydrogel composed of acrylamide (AAm) with N-vinylimidazole (NVI) as co-monomer, with a cross-linker such as N, N` Methylenebisacrylamide and potassium peroxodisulfate as an initiator solution was prepared. Poly (AAm/NVI) hydrogels were synthesized by free radical solution polymerization. Swelling experiments were performed in water at 25°C, gravimetrically. Here, it was of...

Evaluating the effect of pH on mechanical strength and cell compatibility of nanostructured collagen hydrogel by the plastic compression method

Objective(s): One of the main constraints of collagen hydrogel scaffolds for using in tissue engineering is mechanical weakness. Plastic compression (PC) is a physical method to overcome the mechanical limitation of collagen hydrogel. Materials and Methods: In this study, the effects of pH on mechanical and biological properties of PC hydrogels were investigated. Collagen hydrogels were fabrica...

Modulus of elastic pdf

The modulus of elasticity Youngs modulus E is a material property, that. From the Hooks law the modulus of elasticity is defined as the ratio of the stress to.modulus of elasticity of the cultured SC cells examined in this study, in central, non-nuclear regions, ranged between. Johnson B.all require an effective E, the Youngs modulus or elastic modulus, to quantify. Elastic moduli, such as the ...

Elastic modulus of viral nanotubes.

We report an experimental and theoretical study of the radial elasticity of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) nanotubes. An atomic force microscope tip is used to apply small radial indentations to deform TMV nanotubes. The initial elastic response of TMV nanotubes can be described by finite-element analysis in 5nm indentation depths and Hertz theory in 1.5nm indentation depths. The derived radial You...
