Salt-Induced Swelling and Volume Phase Transition of Polyelectrolyte Gels
A theoretical model of polyelectrolyte gels is presented to study continuous and discontinuous volume phase transitions induced by changing salt concentration in the external solution. Phase diagrams are constructed in terms of the polymer–solvent interaction parameters, external salt concentration, and concentration of fixed charges. Comparisons with previous experiments for an ionized acrylam...
متن کاملCalcium Induced Volume Transition in Polyelectrolyte Gels
The osmotic properties and the small angle neutron scattering (SANS) behaviour of fully neutralized sodium polyacrylate gels are investigated in the presence of calcium ions. Analysis of the SANS response displays three characteristic length scales, two of which are of thermodynamic origin, while the third, associated with the frozen-in structural inhomogeneities, is static. The SANS results ar...
متن کاملDynamics of interface of gels undergoing volume phase transition
The dynamics of interface of chemical gels undergoing volume phase transition is studied for one-dimensional geometry Permeation of solvent through the interface is taken into account It is shown that the rate determining process of motion of interface is the permeation of solvent through the bulk domains Generalization to three-dimensional case is also discussed.
متن کاملVolume Phase Transition of Swollen Gels: Discontinuous or Continuous?
Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) linear chains and spherical microgels were studied using laser light scattering. The volume change associated with the temperature dependence of the hydrodynamic radii of both the linear chains and the spherical microgels is continuous, in contrast to a discontinuous volume phase transition observed for a bulk PNIPAM gel with an identical composition. A reex...
متن کاملPhase Transition in Mixed Transition Metal Oxides under High Pressure
Mixed crystals can be categorized as the crystal in which two or more different types of atoms are present and configured. These atoms interact each other in the influence of Coulomb force of attraction and the presence of short range repulsion force. Due to this interaction they tends to be arranged in equilibrium state and forms new material. A pure crystal can be doped by impurities with pro...
