Study on Large Deformation Behavior of Polyacrylamide Hydrogel Using Dissipative Particle Dynamics
Meso-scale models for hydrogels are crucial to bridge the conformation change of polymer chains in micro-scale to the bulk deformation of hydrogel in macro-scale. In this study, we construct coarse-grain bead-spring models for polyacrylamide (PAAm) hydrogel and investigate the large deformation and...
