The dynamics of a collapsing polyelectrolyte gel
We analyse the dynamics of different routes to collapse of a constrained polyelectrolyte gel in contact with an ionic bath. The evolution of the gel is described by a model that incorporates non-linear elasticity, Stefan-Maxwell diffusion and interfacial gradient free energy to account for phase sep...
