Modeling and Simulation of the Ion-Binding-Mediated Swelling Dynamics of Mucin-like Polyelectrolyte Gels
Volume phase transitions in polyeletrolyte gels play important roles in many biophysical processes such as DNA packaging, nerve excitation, and cellular secretion. The swelling and deswelling of these charged polymer gels depend strongly on their ionic environment. In this paper, we present an exten...
