Abstract
The study aims to investigate how the mechanics of swelling of a polymer gel is affected by the presence of free-chains due to a partial cross-linking process. The analysis is focused on the equilibrium solution of the mechano-diffusion problem under different as-prepared states, corresponding to different polymer network fractions before diffusion starts. The limit situations of perfectly cross-linked polymer gel and solution of polymeric chains are recovered by the model.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Engineering Science is not limited to a specific aspect of science and engineering but is instead devoted to a wide range of subfields in the engineering sciences. While it encourages a broad spectrum of contribution in the engineering sciences, its core interest lies in issues concerning material modeling and response. Articles of interdisciplinary nature are particularly welcome.
The primary goal of the new editors is to maintain high quality of publications. There will be a commitment to expediting the time taken for the publication of the papers. The articles that are sent for reviews will have names of the authors deleted with a view towards enhancing the objectivity and fairness of the review process.
Articles that are devoted to the purely mathematical aspects without a discussion of the physical implications of the results or the consideration of specific examples are discouraged. Articles concerning material science should not be limited merely to a description and recording of observations but should contain theoretical or quantitative discussion of the results.
