Journal ArticleDOI
Gel swelling theories: the classical formalism and recent approaches
TL;DR: In this paper, the classical theory of polymer/polyelectrolyte gel swelling is reviewed and the application to experimental swelling data (of both gels and microgels) is also reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of the Counterion Valence on the Behavior of Thermo-Sensitive Gels and Microgels: A Monte Carlo Simulation Study
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of counterion valence on the behavior of polyelectrolyte gels and microgels is studied through computer simulations and it is shown that the swelling effect of multivalent species is smaller than in the case of monovalent counterions and therefore lower temperatures are required for the hydrophobic collapse of the polymer network.
Journal ArticleDOI
Charge reversal in real colloids: Experiments, theory and simulations
Alberto Martín-Molina,José Alberto Maroto-Centeno,Roque Hidalgo-Alvarez,Manuel Quesada-Pérez +3 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the charge reversal of latex particles in the presence of asymmetric electrolytes through Monte Carlo (MC) simulations and compared the results with simulations in which two alternative methods for evaluating energies have been applied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction between Ideal Neutral Nanogels: A Monte Carlo Simulation Study
TL;DR: This work has performed explicit coarse-grained Monte Carlo simulations to find out if these models can capture the interactions between overlapping neutral nanogels and the soft-sphere and Hertz potentials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Size-exclusion partitioning of neutral solutes in crosslinked polymer networks: a Monte Carlo simulation study.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the fiber model can acceptably account for size-exclusion effects in crosslinked gels and prove that the pore sizes obtained by fitting partitioning data of swollen gels are overestimated.
