Characterization of Soft Polymers and Gels Using the Pressure-Bulge Technique
<p>A method to characterize the bulk hydrated properties of soft polymers and hydrogels, whose moduli are in the low MPa regime, using the pressure-bulge technique is presented. The pressure-bulge technique has been used extensively in the characterization of thin films, particularly for the c...
