Swelling of polymer networks with topological constraints: Application of the Helmis-Heinrich-Straube model

For the first time since its formulation in 1986, the theoretical approach proposed by Helmis, Heinrich and Straube (HHS model), which considers the contribution of topological restrictions from entanglements to the swelling of polymer networks, is applied to experimental data. The main aspects and...
