A Constitutive Model for Alginate-Based Double Network Hydrogels Cross-Linked by Mono-, Di-, and Trivalent Cations
In this contribution, a micro-mechanically based constitutive model is proposed to describe the nonlinear inelastic rubber-like features of alginate-based double network hydrogel cross-linked via various counterions. To this end, the lengthening of the polysaccharide polymer chain after a fully stre...
