Investigating Hydrogel Structural Parameters in the Flory–Rehner Model Using Bayesian Optimization

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Hydrogels exhibit tunable solvent absorption driven by environmental stimuli such as temperature, pH, and light. While prior work established connections between synthesis processes and swelling behavior of temperature‐responsive hydrogels, the current study bridges the internal structure and the temperature‐responsive swelling behavior. First,
