A Microscopically Motivated Model for Particle Penetration into Swollen Biological Networks

A Microscopically Motivated Model for Particle Penetration into Swollen Biological Networks

Biological gels (bio-gels) are hydrated polymer networks that serve diverse biological functions, which often lead to intentional or unintentional exposure to particulate matter. In this work, we derive a microscopically motivated framework that enables the investigation of penetration mechanisms in...
