29 Conclusions Conclusions The equilibrium swelling for hydrogels in various external salt concentrations could be determined The Osmotic Donnan model and the simulations qualitatively agree The Donnan theory for the salt partitioning show increasing deviations for increasing charge fractions of the hydrogel The linear charge density on the hydrogel chains breaks the assumption of homogeneity This seems to remain true even for very high salt concentrations (strong screening of the electrostatics) and randomly placed charges on the hydrogel backbone In the case of no electrostatics (the salt behaves almost as ideal gas) the donnan theory and the simulations fully agree The barostat in combination with the grand canonical ensemble does not work to predict the equilibrium swelling volume Tobias Richter (ICP, Stuttgart) Hydrogels 27. May / 21
30 Conclusions Outlook Improvement of the Donnan model Poisson-Boltzmann Cell model to treat the elastic properties in an electrolyte solution Track down the origin of the deviations Having a closer look at the distribution of ions around the chains in the hydrogel Tobias Richter (ICP, Stuttgart) Hydrogels 27.
