By reformulation of the fixed-charge density and consideration of finite deformation, the rMECe model is able to predict the responsive deformations of the hydrogels when they are immersed in a bath solution subject to externally applied electric field.
A chemo-electro-mechanical formulation, referred to as the multi-effect-coupling pH-stimulus (MECpH) model, is presented in this paper for the analysis of the effects of the initial geometrical size on the responsive behavior of pH-sensitive hydrogels subject to the coupled stimuli of environmental solution pH and externally applied electric voltage.
The mRNA immobilized on the magnetic beads was extracted from the cell lysis droplet with an externally applied magnetic force and sequentially transferred into droplets of washing solution 1, washing solution 2 and the reverse transcription solution.
The multi-state rMECe model accurately predicts the responsive deformation of the hydrogels when placed in a bath solution, which is subjected to externally applied electric field.
The method of harmonic balance, coupled with a continuation scheme, is used to determine the solutions for an entire range of externally applied loading.
Stress is the force on unit areas within a material that develops as a result of the externally applied force.
Parameter studies on the hydrogel displacement are conducted in detail for influences of externally applied electric voltage, initially fixed-charge density and surrounding bath solution concentration.
The mean current voltage (I– V) plots in Fig. 2(Ai) and (Bi) show that there was little difference in control currents, those in isoprenaline or those in isoprenaline + externally applied Ni2+ between cells dialysed with Ni2+-free and Ni2+-containing pipette solutions.
As-prepared Fe3O4 particles are stable in solution and reveal rapid magnetic response to the externally applied magnetic field.
The mechanisms of ion transportation in the electrolyte would depend, in turn, on the externally applied voltage and on the electrical mobility of those ions in the solution; that is described by the well-known Einstein-Smoluchowski relation m = q/ KTD.
The techniques of small-angle light and neutron scattering, optical microscopy, and fluorescence microscopy are used to directly assess the influence of an externally applied shear field on the phase stability and morphology of model polymer blends and solutions.
