Optical Detection of Nonequilibrium Swelling Behavior of a Polymer Gel upon Solvent Substitution

We report a novel transient swelling and shrinking behavior of a thin poly(acrylamide)-based gel film upon solvent substitution between water and ethylene glycol. These size changes could be optically detected through a change in the Bragg diffraction wavelength for the colloidal crystal of charged...
