Micromechanical Characterization of Hydrogels Undergoing Swelling and Dissolution at Alkaline pH

The swelling of polyelectrolyte hydrogels usually depends on the pH, and if the pH is high enough degradation can occur. A microindentation device was developed to dynamically test these processes in whey protein isolate hydrogels at alkaline pH 7–14. At low alkaline pH the shear modulus decreases d...
