Abstract
- The swelling of a polymeric particle depends on hydration and free volume effects.
- Free volume depends on the composition and position of functional groups.
- Functional groups closer to the surface contribute more to conformational changes.
- The thermodynamic method shown helps the fine tuning of the polymeric material.
