Application of a Clapeyron-Type Equation to the Volume Phase Transition of Polymer Gels
The applicability of the Clapeyron equation to the volume phase transition of cylindrical poly(<i>N</i>-isopropylacrylamide)-based gels under external force is reviewed. Firstly, the equilibrium conditions for the gels under tension are shown, and then we demonstrate that the Clapeyron e...
