Gastric mucus is a polyelectrolyte gel that serves as the primary defense of the stomach
lining against acid and digestive enzymes. Mucus is released from granules in specialized …

Polyelectrolyte gels provide a load-bearing structural framework for many macroscopic
biological tissues, along with the organelles within the cells composing tissues and the …

A multicomponent model that imposes conservation laws and constitutive relations for
polymer chains, water, and ions was investigated by determining the transient changes in a …

Polyelectrolyte gels are electro-active soft materials that are often surrounded by a viscous
salt solution. The formation of an electrical double layer (EDL) at the interface between the …
