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 کاملEquilibrium Swelling Study of Cationic Acrylamide-Based Hydrogels: Effect of Synthesis Parameters, and Phase Transition in Polyelectrolyte Solutions
Cationic copolymer gels of acrylamide and [(methacrylamido) Propyl] trimethyl ammonium chloride (MAPTAC) were synthesized by free radical aqueous solution polymerization. The Taguchi method, a robust experimental design, was employed for the optimization of the synthesis based on the equilibrium swelling capacity of the hydrogels. Based on Taguchi method a standard L16 orthogonal array with fiv...
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...
