Swelling-Activated, Soft Mechanochemistry in Polymer Materials
[Image: see text] Swelling in polymer materials is a ubiquitous phenomenon. At a molecular level, swelling is dictated by solvent–polymer interactions, and has been thoroughly studied both theoretically and experimentally. Favorable solvent–polymer interactions result in the solvation of polymer cha...

description | [Image: see text] Swelling in polymer materials is a ubiquitous phenomenon. At a molecular level, swelling is dictated by solvent–polymer interactions, and has been thoroughly studied both theoretically and experimentally. Favorable solvent–polymer interactions result in the solvation of polymer chains. For polymers in confined geometries, such as those that are tethered to surfaces, or for polymer networks, solvation can lead to swelling-induced tensions. These tensions act on polymer chains and can lead to stretching, bending, or deformation of the material both at the micro- and macroscopic scale. This Invited Feature Article sheds light on such swelling-induced mechanochemical phenomena in polymer materials across dimensions, and discusses approaches to visualize and characterize these effects. |
