Mechanics Analysis of Coupled Large Deformation and Diffusion in Gels
abstract: Gels are three-dimensional polymer networks with entrapped solvent (water etc.). They bear amazing features such as stimuli-responsive (temperature, PH, electric field etc.), high water content and biocompatibility and thus find a lot of applications. To understand the complex physics behi...
