Non-Gaussian elasticity and charge density-dependent swelling of strong polyelectrolyte poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-sodium acrylate) hydrogels

Abstract

<p>The charge density dependence of swelling and volume dependence of the elastic modulus were investigated with a predicted course of non-Gaussian elasticity of<italic>N</italic>-isopropylacrylamide-based hydrogels.</p>
