Side Chains and the Insufficient Lubrication of Water in Polyacrylamide Hydrogel—A New Insight

Existing theories cannot predict the mechanical property changes of polyacrylamide hydrogels with different water content because of the absence of side chains. In this study, polyacrylamide hydrogels are prepared and tested to investigate the side chain effect on their mechanical properties. First,...
