Chemo‐Mechanical Coupling in Hydrogels: Dynamics in the Diffusion‐Limited Regime

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A time‐dependent continuum model is developed to capture the transient swelling dynamics of chemo‐mechanical hydrogels. By coupling chemical reactions, solvent transport, and polymer deformation, volume phase transitions, reaction kinetics, and transient mechanical instabilities are analyzed.
