A kinetic model of a polyelectrolyte gel undergoing phase separation

In this study we propose a novel phase-field theory based on non-equilibrium thermodynamics that resolves both the macroscopic deformations and the internal structure of a polyelectrolyte gel immersed in an ionic solution. The governing equations for the gel account for its electro-chemical response...
