Swelling ofpH-sensitive hydrogels

Abstract: A model is derived for the elastic response of polyelectrolyte gels subjected to unconstrained and constrained swelling. A gel is treated as a three-phase medium consisting of a solid phase (polymer network), solvent (water), and solutes (mobile ions). Transport of solvent and solutes is modeled as their diffusion through the network accelerated by an electric field formed by ions and accompanied by chemical reactions (dissociation of functional groups attached to the chains). Constitutive equations (including… Show more

“…When pH is in the mid‐range (5.5 pH 9), Qt increases monotonically with time since pH is higher than the dissociation constant for carbopols ( normalpKa=6 ± 0.5). This increase in swelling can be explained by deprotonation of carboxyl groups attached to the backbone of polymer networks . Finally, at low pH values (pH 3.5), hybrid gels depict either a nonmonotonic or monotonic shrinkage with respect to their corresponding Q0.…”

“…Jahren et al developed a model to predict pH dependent equilibrium swelling behavior of polyelectrolyte chitosan by using Flory and Tanaka swelling theory, however the absolute degree of swelling from the model was higher than found experimentally. Drozdov et al . derived a model for the elastic response of polyelectrolyte gels.…”
