The Effect of Network Solvation on the Viscoelastic Response of Polymer Hydrogels
The majority of investigations consider the deformation response of hydrogels, fully controlled by the deformation behavior of their polymer network, neglecting the contribution caused by the presence of water. Here, we use molecular dynamics simulation in an attempt to include the effect of physica...
