Fig. 5. Effect of temperature-induced changes in kd on frequency-dependent rheometry.
a Calculated frequency-dependent G′/G0 curves for PSNP/HPMC-C12 gels. b Calculated G′/G0 values taken at 10 rad/s show good agreement with experimental data and demonstrates negligible changes in modulus with elevated temperatures. c Calculated frequency-dependent G′/G0 curves for representative enthalpy-driven CB[8]/MV/Np hydrogels using literature values for crosslinking thermodynamics29–32. d Calculated G′/G0 values taken at 10 rad/s show good agreement with literature data and demonstrate a significant decrease in modulus as temperature is elevated.
