In this paper, a chemo-electro-mechanical model is presented which considers the characteristics of the three phases of the ionic-strength-sensitive hydrogel, including the solid polymeric network matrix, interstitial fluid and ionic species. It is termed the multi-effect-coupling ionic-strength-sti

In this paper, the kinetics of polymer-based electric-stimulus-responsive hydrogels is investigated numerically. The studied hydrogels are mainly composed of three phases, i.e. the interstitial water, mobile ions and a three-dimensional networked structure of hydrophilic polymerchains crosslinked to
## Abstract The effect of Young's modulus on the behavior of pHβsensitive hydrogels is studied when subjected to coupled stimuli of solution pH and externally applied electric field. The study is the first instance for coupled stimuli numerical analysis of the hydrogels, in which a multieffectβcoup
