APPENDIX 3 Summary • Polymer network when immersed in a solvent, it absorbs large amount of water, this phenomena is called swelling. • Swelling depends on the network parameters such as crosslink density. • Crosslink density can be estimated from swelling measurements using Flory-Rehner theory. • A relationship between swelling and elasticity can be established using the theory of rubber elasticity. • Polyelectrolytes swell enormously due to the presence of charged groups. • Swelling phenomena has many applications such as pharmaceuticals, tissue engineering and biomedicine.
