Thickness-Dependent Swelling Behavior of Vapor-Deposited Smart Polymer Thin Films [PDF]
Macromolecules, 2018 In this contribution, the temperature-dependent swelling behavior of vapor-deposited smart polymer thin films is shown to depend on cross-linking and deposited film thickness. Smart polymers find application in sensor and actuator setups and are mostly fabricated on delicate substrates with complex nanostructures that need to be conformally coated.

Calcium decreases cell wall swelling in sweet cherry fruit
Scientific Reports, 2022 Swelling of epidermal cell walls decreases cell-to-cell adhesion and increases cracking susceptibility in sweet cherry. Ca is suggested to decrease cracking susceptibility by crosslinking of cell wall components and, possibly, by decreasing swelling. The
