Poroelasticity of highly confined hydrogel films measured with a surface forces apparatus
2020
The influence of poroelasticity on the contact mechanics of thin polyacrylamide films was investigated with a surface forces apparatus (SFA). A model based on a thin film approximation described compression forces for hydrated gels; polymer scaling theory explained the effects of gel dehydration. The results demonstrate that fluid flow dictates the apparent stiffness of highly confined poroelastic films.
