Hydrogels consist of cross-linked polymer chains and water molecules. Due to the coupling between deformation of the polymer network and diffusion of the solven

Double network (DN) hydrogels are hydrogels consist of two different networks to make them both tough and extensible. This thesis focuses on understanding the t

The Mechanics of Hydrogels: Mechanical Properties, Testing, and Applications offers readers a systematic description of the mechanical properties and characteri

Swelling of a polymer gel is a kinetic process coupling mass transport and mechanical deformation. A comparison between a nonlinear theory for polymer gels and

This book perfects the theoretical system of fracture mechanics of nonhomogeneous materials through the establishment of the piecewise exponential model and exp
