Experimental validation of a four components mixture theory for swelling porous media

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

Biological tissues exhibit swelling or shrinking behaviour. This behaviour is caused by water binding. Biological tissues are able to bind water because of the fixed charges of the solid skeleton. These electrical charges are responsible for a variety of physical phenomena such as streaming potentials, diffusion potentials, electro-osmosis, electrophoresis and swelling.
