this articles is comprised of two parts: a) an experimental investigation on the behavior of an acrylic gel under dc electric field and b) a physico - mathematical description.a) gel rods made of poly [acrylamide-co-bisacrylamide] were partially hydrolyzed to different extents at ph 12 by teteramethylethylene diamine. equlibrium properties of the resulting gels rods (water content, number of ca...

Ion transport in polyelectrolyte membranes (charged hydrogels) is of significant technological (and biological) importance, but little known how micro-structural inhomogeneity affects ionic conductivity. Whereas a uniform electric field drives uni-directional electro-migrative and electro-osmotic ion fluxes perfectly microstructures, this study considers the influence spherical inclusions/cavit...

This review article provides a critical survey of work from 1904 to 2003 on the effects low ionic strength in Red Blood Cells (RBCs) incubated media with impermeable sugars such as sucrose. In Gürber A washed RBCs different species isotonic sucrose solution eliminate outside ions order better analyse their intracellular composition; however, this approach was not feasible because substantial sa...

Abstract The strain-generated potential (SGP) is a well-established mechanism in cartilaginous tissues whereby mechanical forces generate electrical potentials. In articular cartilage (AC) and the intervertebral disc (IVD), studies on SGP have focused fluid- ionic-driven effects, namely Donnan, diffusion streaming However, recent evidence has indicated direct coupling between strain potential. ...

Ion-Driven Artificial Neural Signals In article number 2301037, Chang-Soo Han and co-workers create fully ion-driven artificial neural signals by mimicking double-Donnan effect of an excitable cell. This system not only generates electrical flowing desired ions, but can also be used as a bio-friendly, high-efficiency power source.
