Mesoscopic Modeling of Dynamic Tetra-PEG Hydrogel Networks
Pietro Miotti, Lucien Cousin, Mark W. Tibbitt +1
We introduce a mesoscopic model of dynamic Tetra-PEG hydrogel networks based on a hybrid Dissipative Particle Dynamics/Monte Carlo (DPD/MC) approach. Polymer chains are described b…

Entropy maximization underlies topology and mechanical properties in dynamic covalent hydrogels
Lucien Cousin, Pietro Miotti, Bruno Marco-Dufort +2
Adding dynamic bonds in polymer networks enables reprocessing and recycling; however the full impact of reversible bonds on dynamic network mechanics remains unclear. We build mode…
