Swelling dynamics of surface-attached hydrogel thin films in vapor flows
J. Delavoipiére, B. Herteufeu, J. Teissiere +4
Hydrogel coatings absorb water vapor - or other solvents - and, as such, are good candidates for antifog applications. In the present study, the transfer of vapor from the atmosphe…

Friction of poroelastic contacts with thin hydrogel films
Jessica Delavoipière, Emilie Verneuil, Yvette Tran +3
We report on the frictional behaviour of thin poly(dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA) hydrogels films grafted on glass substrates in sliding contact with a glass spherical probe. Friction…
