Summary
Equilibrium Swelling
refers to the
Stable State
reached by a
Polymer Network
when it
Absorbs a solvent
until the
Forces of elasticity
balance with the
Osmotic Pressure
of the solvent. This phenomenon is crucial in applications like hydrogels and
Drug Delivery Systems
, where the material's
Ability to swell
and
Retain its shape
is
Essential for functionality
.
