Quantifying the trade-off between stiffness and permeability in hydrogels
Yiwei Gao, H. Jeremy Cho
Hydrogels have a distinct combination of mechanical and water-transport behaviors. As hydrogels stiffen, they become less permeable. Here, we combine semi-dilute polymer theory wit…

Scaling laws to predict humidity-induced swelling and stiffness in hydrogels
Yiwei Gao, Nicholas K. K. Chai, Negin Garakani +2
From pasta to biological tissues to contact lenses, gel and gel-like materials inherently soften as they swell with water. In dry, low-relative-humidity environments, these materia…
