Figure 5

Chemical potential (μ) difference between inside the gel and the external solution at increasing time points (15%, 43%, 67% & 92% of equilibrium time) for (a) univalent and (b) divalent solutions for the total swelling pressure model. ϕs,0 = 20%. Note: the chemical potential difference is equal in magnitude to the swelling pressure difference.
