Hydrogel is a three‐dimensional cross‐linked hydrophilic network that can imbibe a large
amount of water inside its structure (up to 99% of its dry weight). Due to their unique …

The motion of nanoparticles in a polymer matrix is dictated by the intricate coupling of the
nanoparticles and surrounding polymers. Various length-and time-scale dependent features …

Theoretical model has been developed for the diffusion-limited photocatalytic degradation of
organic dye in aqueous solution by composite hydrogel filament with embedded …

Design of efficient enzyme carriers, where enzymes are conjugated to supports, has become
an attractive research avenue. Immobilized enzymes are advantageous for practical …

The permeability of hydrogels for the selective transport of molecular penetrants (drugs,
toxins, reactants, etc.) is a central property in the design of soft functional materials, for …

Biopolymer networks having a meshwork topology, eg, extracellular matrices and mucus
gels, are ubiquitous. Understanding the diffusion mechanism of self-propelled agents …

We present a kinetic study on the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (NO2) with borohydride,
catalyzed by silver nanoparticles. The latter are immobilized inside the hydrogel shell of core …

The permeability of a membrane to solute penetrants is well defined on the linear response
level simply as the ratio of penetrants' flux and concentration gradient at the membrane …

We study the permeability and selectivity ('permselectivity') of model membranes made of
polydisperse polymer networks for molecular penetrant transport, using coarse-grained …

Dynamical polydispersity in single-particle properties, for example a fluctuating particle size,
shape, charge density, etc, is intrinsic to responsive colloids (RCs), such as …
