Abstract

Hydrogels are crosslinked polymers consisting of hydrophilic repeating units. Hydrogels are able to absorb/desorb large amounts of water and hydrophilic solutes, i.e. they swell/shrink in aqueous solutions. The volume change accompanied by that swelling can be continuous as well as discontinuous, i.e. phase transitions can be observed. This contribution aims to describe and discuss examples of the phase equilibrium behavior of hydrogel systems. Therefore, some typical examples of the swelling/shrinking of some simple synthetic hydrogels in water and in aqueous solutions are presented, the phase equilibrium conditions and a method for correlating/predicting such phase equilibria are discussed.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
