Polymer Swelling Equilibria

Polymer Swelling Equilibria is a thermodynamic state in which a polymer network immersed in a solvent reaches a balance between the osmotic driving force for solvent absorption and the elastic restoring force of the deformed polymer matrix, resulting in a stable equilibrium swelling ratio.
