## Abstract **Summary:** Theoretical analysis of the possibility of collapse/swelling phase transition propagation along a polyelectrolyte gel thread has been performed. A differential equation that determines the time dependence of the degree of swelling of polymer thread under the radial mechanic
Electrolytes are often added to a gel-swelling medium under the assumption that the important conditions which characterize swelling rates are the solution pH and ionic strength, with little emphasis on the nature of the electrolyte. Previous research by Siege1 et al. has indicated that the presence
## SYNOPSIS The discontinuous transition between dense and dilute phases in polyelectrolyte gels is observed in Bond-Fluctuation Method Monte Carlo simulations of gels. The transition is driven by the competition between local attractive interactions of a poor-quality solvent and global repulsive
