The pH-sensitive hydrogels are a unique class of three-dimensional hydrophilic polymers
containing ionic pendant groups on their polymeric network. In response to the external pH …

Due to their ability to swell/deswell under alternating pH conditions, pH-sensitive hydrogels
present themselves as a potential candidate for controlled drug delivery. In this paper, a …

Computational Modelling of Intelligent Soft Matter: Shape Memory Polymers and Hydrogels
covers the multiphysics response of various smart polymer materials, such as temperature …

Tough pH-sensitive hydrogels with noncovalent bonds have been developed in recent years
as a promising structural material. They are involved in many engineering devices and …

Hydrogel actuation devices are commonly composed of responsive and passive materials,
and their actuation effect depends on their unique structure. In this paper, an explicit …

The pH-sensitive hydrogels are attractive candidates to act like a microvalve in microfluidic
devices. In this study, we build a theory for the transient simulation of a pH-sensitive …

In this paper, a semi-analytical formulation is developed to examine the swelling-induced
finite bending of a functionally graded hydrogel strip, when the strip is embedded in a …

This research investigates the twisting behavior of a multi-layered hydrogel-based actuator
comprised of two temperature-sensitive hydrogel layers and one elastomeric layer as the …
