  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Smart Hydrogel Modelling

Abstract

In general, the degree of swelling/shrinking of a smart hydrogel is dependent upon many effects, such as the ionizable group and polymeric network structure of the hydrogel and the characteristics of environmental solutions including the composition, pH and temperature, in which there are different interactions between mechanical, chemical and electrical fields.
