Study Highlights the Swollen Polymer Network (SPN) Model to Predict and Optimize Hydrogel Properties

Dr Nathan Richbourg introduces the Swollen Polymer Network (SPN) model in a newly published paper in the Journal of Polymer Science. This research connects structural characteristics of hydrogels with key physical properties such as swelling, stiffness, and solute transport, establishing a predictive framework to streamline future biomaterial design.
