Abstract
The electrostatic potential distribution of cross-linked polyelectrolyte gels has been numerically calculated on the base of Poisson-Boltzmann equation using a three dimensional network geometry. The simulational result revealed that besides potential energy valleys around the polymer chains, there should exist deep electrostatic potential energy wells at every cross-linking point.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
