Kinetics of Swelling Gels
Abstract. We develop a general theory of the swelling kinetics of polymer gels, with the view that a polymer gel is a two-phase fluid. The model we propose is a free boundary problem and can be used to understand both contraction and swelling, including complete dissolving or dehydration of polymeric gels. We show that the equations of motion satisfy a minimum energy dissipation rate principle ...
متن کاملIncipient Dynamics of Swelling of Gels
In this article, we analyze a model of the incipient dynamics of gel swelling, and perform numerical simulations. The governing system consists of balance laws for a mixture of nonlinear elastic solid and solvent yielding effective equations for the gel. We discuss the multiscale nature of the problem and identify physically realistic regimes. The mixing mechanism is based on the Flory-Huggins ...
متن کاملReaction-induced swelling of ionic gels.
A chemomechanical theory is proposed to describe the dynamic behavior and response time of ionic gels. The large deformation of these gels accompanied by the migration of mobile ions is driven by a common non-equilibrium chemical reaction. The theoretical model was validated using existing experimental data. Further investigations showed that the dynamic deformation and response time of an ioni...
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 کاملEffect of additives on swelling of covalent DNA gels.
The volumetric response of polymer gels on cosolute addition depends on the interaction of the polymer with the cosolute and can be used as a simple and sensitive way of elucidating these interactions. Here we report on DNA networks, prepared by crosslinking double-stranded DNA with ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EGDE); these have been investigated with respect to their swelling in aqueous s...
