Abstract:
A new coupled finite element formulation is proposed to calculate a conformation tensor model in two complex flows: a planar contraction flow and a planar flow around a symmetrically placed cylinder. The components of conformation tensor are first co...

Abstract:
A series of novel p(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) hydrogels were synthesized by radical copolymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) and 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS). The copolymers were then crosslinked through hydrolysis of t...
