A thermo-electro-chemo-mechanical model for phase transition of physical hydrogel between solution and gel phases identified by crosslink density
In general, hydrogel is a class of hydrophilic crosslinked polymeric network, consisting of the network matrix and interstitial fluid. Literature search reveals that the previously published studies focused on the bulk (single) phase behavior or the gel-gel phase transition. In this thesis, a thermo...
