Swelling behavior of expansive clay by Ang, Ying Sze

“…Expansive clays can cause severe damages to infrastructures and researchers are exploring ways to predict their swelling behaviour. In the context of studying the swelling behaviour of expansive clay, percentage of bentonite and initial dry density were chosen to study on their effects on the swelling pressure and free swell. …”

Smelling out another cinema. by Sim, Jiaying.

“…This essay addresses the uncertainties raised towards an olfactory cinema by close analyses of two films which draw our focus to smells: Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006), directed by Tom Tykwer, and Polyester (1981), directed by John Waters to suggest that even without the physicality of smells, smell has never been a sensorial experience that was out of reach in cinema. …”

Swelling of polymer-salt particle composites by Ong, Liyi

“…Factors such as particle size, concentration, type of salt, and immersion medium are explored to elucidate their effects on swelling behaviour. The study employs experimental techniques to measure volume swelling and water absorption of polymer-salt composites under different conditions. …”

Swelling and collapse behaviour of unsaturated soils by Loshana, K

“…The change in volume of unsaturated soils is determined by the net normal stress and matric suction which are the two stress state variables. Shrinkage and swelling or collapse of the soil is dependent on the net normal stress and the matric suction. …”

The influence of additives on the delivery of paclitaxel from bioresorbable PLGA films by Huang, Charlotte Liwen.

“…The objective is to investigate the use of additives as a means to control and modulate the delivery of paclitaxel from PLGA thin films. The release profiles obtained from the first part of the study with different types of PLGA show linear dependence on the concentration of terminal carboxylic acid end-groups of PLGA, which also regulates the degradation of PLGA films. …”

Release retardation of model protein on polyelectrolyte-coated PLGA nano- and microparticles by Nugraha, Chandra, Bora, Meghali, Venkatraman, Subbu S.

“…Although liposomes have received considerable attention with PEM coating for sustained drug release, similar results employing PEM built on poly(lactic-co-lycolic acid) (PLGA) particles is scant. In this work, we demonstrate that the build-up pH and polyelectrolyte pairs of PEM affect the release retardation of BSA from PLGA particles. …”

Extreme Water Uptake of Hygroscopic Hydrogels through Maximized Swelling‐Induced Salt Loading by Graeber, Gustav, Díaz‐Marín, Carlos D, Gaugler, Leon C, Zhong, Yang, El Fil, Bachir, Liu, Xinyue, Wang, Evelyn N

“…However, devices using these materials still exhibit insufficient performance, partly due to the limited water vapor uptake of the hydrogels. Here, the swelling dynamics of hydrogels in aqueous lithiumchloride solutions, the implications on hydrogel salt loading, and the resulting vapor uptake of the synthesized hydrogel–salt composites are characterized. …”

Swellable elastomeric HNBR-MgO composite : magnesium oxide as a novel swelling and reinforcement filler by Han, Dingzhi, Qu, Meng, Yue, Chee Yoon, Lou, Yucun, Musso, Simone, Robisson, Agathe

“…This HNBR-MgO composite system initially looks and behaves like rubber, but exposure to water causes it to swell and stiffen. Compared with conventional swellable materials, which lose stiffness significantly upon swelling, the sealing capacity of these novel reactive composites improves significantly with their improved stiffness. …”
