Salt effects on the phase transition of ionic gels
暂无分享,去创建一个
An ionized acrylamide gel is found to undergo a discrete phase transition in equilibrium volume upon varying the salt concentration in the solution. The salt concentration required for the transition depends strongly on the valency of the positive salt ion added to the solution. In certain cases the concentration at the transition is many thousand times larger for monovalent ions than for divalent ions. A simple theoretical consideration of the osmotic pressure of the ions can explain the phenomenon.
