Influence of gel preparation concentration on statistical mechanics of poly(dialkylaminoethyl methacrylate) gels on the basis of scaling concept: Toward tunable elasticity and thermomechanical parameters
Abstract:In order to evaluate the scaling parameters of weakly cationic crosslinked network structures, poly(dialkylaminoethyl methacrylate)‐based hydrogels were synthesized via free‐radical crosslinking in aqueous solution varying systematically concentration of pregel solution. Based on the gel‐preparation concentration, variation in structural properties, effective crosslinking density, average molecular weight of polymer chains, and thermodynamic parameters from combined swelling and elasticity results were discuss… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
