Swelling Kinetics of a Microgel Shell
Tanaka’s approach to swelling kinetics of a solid gel sphere is extended to a sphericalmicrogel shell. The boundary condition at the inner surface is obtained from the minimization of shear elastic energy. Temporal evolution of a shell is represented in a form of expansion over eigenfunctions of the corresponding diffusion equation. The swelling of Tanaka’s solid spherical gel is recovered as a...
متن کاملThe Effect of Co-Monomer Content on the Swelling/Shrinking and Mechanical Behaviour of Individually Adsorbed PNIPAM Microgel Particles
The swelling/deswelling behaviour of microgel particles in the bulk and at the surface was studied and correlated to their mechanical properties. We focused on two kinds of particles: pure PNIPAM and PNIPAM-co-AAc particles. It was shown that the two step volume phase transition found for PNIPAM-co-AAc particles in the bulk disappears after the adsorption at the surface and only a one step tran...
متن کاملInternal structure and swelling behaviour of in silico microgel particles.
Microgels are soft colloids that, by virtue of their polymeric nature, can react to external stimuli such as temperature or pH by changing their size. The resulting swelling/deswelling transition can be exploited in fundamental research as well as for many diverse practical applications, ranging from art restoration to medicine. Such an extraordinary versatility stems from the complex internal ...
متن کاملKinetics 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 کاملSolution behaviors and microstructures of PNIPAm-P123-PNIPAm pentablock terpolymers in dilute and concentrated aqueous solutions.
The solution behaviors and microstructures of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)x-poly(ethylene oxide)20-poly(propylene oxide)70-poly(ethylene oxide)20-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)x (PNIPAmx-PEO20-PPO70-PEO20-PNIPAmx or PNIPAmx-P123-PNIPAmx) pentablock terpolymers with various PNIPAm block lengths in dilute and concentrated aqueous solutions were investigated by micro-differential scanning calorimetry ...
