Controlling polymerization-induced phase separation in the synthesis of porous gels
Yanxia Feng, Noel Ringeisen, Eric R. Dufresne +2
Porous gels -- gels with solvent-filled pores that are much larger than their mesh size -- are widely used in engineering and biomedical applications due to their tunable mechanics…
Characterizing hydrogel behavior under compression with gel-freezing osmometry
Yanxia Feng, Dominic Gerber, Stefanie Heyden +4
Hydrogels are particularly versatile materials that are widely found in both Nature and industry. One key reason for this versatility is their high water content, which lets them d…
Dehydration drives damage in the freezing of brittle hydrogels
Shaohua Yang, Dominic Gerber, Yanxia Feng +6
It is widely known that freezing breaks soft, wet materials. However, the mechanism underlying this damage is still not clear. To understand this process, we freeze model, brittle…
