Time-dependent modelling of thin poroelastic films drying on deformable plates
Matthew G. Hennessy, Richard V. Craster, Omar K. Matar
Understanding the generation of mechanical stress in drying, particle-laden films is important for a wide range of industrial processes. The cantilever experiment allows the stress…
Optimal loading of hydrogel-based drug-delivery systems
Matthew J. Penn, Matthew G. Hennessy
Drug-loaded hydrogels provide a means to deliver pharmaceutical agents to specific sites within the body at a controlled rate. The aim of this paper is to understand how controlled…
The electric double layer at the interface between a polyelectrolyte gel and salt bath
Matthew G. Hennessy, Giulia L. Celora, Andreas Münch +2
The electric double layer (EDL) that forms at the interface between a polyelectrolyte gel and a salt bath is studied using asymptotic and numerical methods. Specifically, matched a…
Fluid-fluid phase separation in a soft porous medium
Oliver W. Paulin, Liam C. Morrow, Matthew G. Hennessy +1
Various biological and chemical processes lead to the nucleation and growth of non-wetting fluid bubbles within the pore space of a granular medium, such as the formation of gas bu…
Drying-induced stresses in poroelastic drops on rigid substrates
Matthew G. Hennessy, Richard V. Craster, Omar K. Matar
We develop a theory for drying-induced stresses in sessile, poroelastic drops undergoing evaporation on rigid surfaces. Using a lubrication-like approximation, the governing equati…
A kinetic model of a polyelectrolyte gel undergoing phase separation
Giulia L. Celora, Matthew G. Hennessy, Andreas Münch +2
In this study we use non-equilibrium thermodynamics to systematically derive a phase-field model of a polyelectrolyte gel coupled to a hydrodynamic model for a salt solution surrou…
