Polymer Network Diffusion in Charged Gels
Shoei Sano, Takashi Yasuda, Takeshi Fujiyabu +2
The swelling kinetics of charged polymer gels reflect the complex competition among elastic, mixing, and ionic contributions. Here, we used dynamic light scattering to investigate…
Temperature Dependence of Polymer Network Diffusion
Takeshi Fujiyabu, Takamasa Sakai, Ryota Kudo +4
The swelling dynamics of polymer gels are characterized by the (collective) diffusion coefficient of the polymer network. Here, we measure the temperature dependence of of…
Tri-branched gels: Rubbery materials with the lowest branching factor approach the ideal elastic limit
Takeshi Fujiyabu, Naoyuki Sakumichi, Takuya Katashima +4
Unlike hard materials such as metals and ceramics, rubbery materials can endure large deformations due to the large conformational degree of freedom of the crosslinked three-dimens…
Damageless Tough Hydrogels with On-demand Self-reinforcement
Chang Liu, Takeshi Fujiyabu, Naoya Morimoto +5
Most tough hydrogels are reinforced by introducing sacrificial structures that can dissipate input energy. However, since the sacrificial damages cannot recover instantly, the toug…
