Polyelectrolyte gels in salt solutions
Abstract
Equilibrium swelling and salt accumulation were investigated for highly swollen polymethacrylic acid gels in aqueous salt solutions of 0.8 × 10−2 to 0.5 M LiCl, NaCl, and KCl, at varying degrees of ionization of the polymer. The same equilibrium results were obtained with all three cations, thus showing that in the range investigated, specific interactions between the cations and the polyacid network may be disregarded. It was shown that the Donnan distribution, uncorrected for activity factors, cannot be applied to highly charged, highly swollen gels, even as a rough approximation. A general theory was developed which satisfactorily describes these equilibrium results in the entire ionization range of the gel in salt solutions up to 0.5 M. This theory was based on Flory's equation for the contractile free energy of the network, and on the equation of Katchalsky et al. for the electrostatic free energy of polyelectrolyte solutions. It was found that the activity factor of the salt in the gel‐phase is chiefly determined by the electrostatic factor, and closely approximates the activity factor in polyelectrolyte solutions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
