    Effect of crosslinker length on the elastic and compression modulus of poly(acrylamide) nanocomposite hydrogels

    Polymer hydrogelshave shown to exhibit improved properties upon the addition of nanoparticles; however, the mechanical underpinnings behind these enhancements have not been fully elucidated. Moreover, fewer studies have focused on developing an understanding of how polymer parameters affect the nanoparticle-mediated enhancements. In this study, we investigated the elastic properties of silica nanoparticle-reinforced poly(acrylamide) hydrogels synthesized using crosslinkers of various lengths. Crosslinker length positively affected the mechanical properties of hydrogels that were synthesized with or without nanoparticles. However the degree of nanoparticle enhancement was negatively correlated to crosslinker length. Our findings enable the understanding of the respective roles of nanoparticle and polymer properties on nanoparticle-mediated enhancement of hydrogels and thereby the development of next-generation nanocomposite materials

    In this paper, we establish some sharp inequalities between the volume and the integral of the kk-th mean curvature for k+1k+1-convex domains in the Euclidean space. The results generalize the classical Alexandrov-Fenchel inequalities for convex domains. Our proof utilizes the method of optimal transportation.Comment: 21 page
