Journal ArticleDOI
Swelling kinetics of polymer gels: comparison of linear and nonlinear theories
Nikolaos Bouklas,Rui Huang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison between a nonlinear theory for polymer gels and the classical theory of linear poroelasticity is made, and it is shown that the two theories are consistent within the linear regime under the condition of small perturbation from an isotropically swollen state of the gel.
Journal ArticleDOI
A nonlinear, transient finite element method for coupled solvent diffusion and large deformation of hydrogels
TL;DR: In this article, a nonlinear, transient finite element formulation is presented for initial boundary value problems associated with swelling and deformation of hydrogels, based on the nonlinear continuum theory that is consistent with classical theory of linear poroelasticity.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Adhesive Hydrogel with "Load-Sharing" Effect as Tissue Bandages for Drug and Cell Delivery.
Jing Chen,Dong Wang,Long-Hai Wang,Wanjun Liu,Alan Chiu,Kaavian Shariati,Qingsheng Liu,Xi Wang,Zhe Zhong,James Webb,Robert E. Schwartz,Nikolaos Bouklas,Minglin Ma +12 more
TL;DR: Using the adhesive hydrogel, tissue‐adhesive bandages are developed for either targeted and sustained release of chemotherapeutic nanodrug for liver cancer treatment, or anchored delivery of pancreatic islets for a potential type 1 diabetes (T1D) cell replacement therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Swell-induced surface instability of hydrogel layers with material properties varying in thickness direction
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a theoretical stability analysis for swelling of hydrogel layers with material properties varying in the thickness direction, and show that both the critical condition and the instability mode depend sensitively on the variation of the material properties in thickness direction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Solvent Diffusion on Crack-Tip Fields and Driving Force for Fracture of Hydrogels
TL;DR: In this article, a thermodynamically consistent method for calculating the transient energy release rate for crack growth in hydrogels based on a modified path independent J-integral is presented.
