Rheological Model for a Nanoporous-Elasto-Hydrodynamic Composite Material

Article Preview

Abstract:

This work proposes a rheological model for a nanoporous-elasto-hydrodynamic composite material (NPEHDCM), which can be obtained by mixing a colloid, consisted of water and water-repellent nanoporous silica micro-particles, with an adequate jellification agent. Hydrogel is modeled as a biphasic mixture consisted of a nanoporous hydrophilic isotropic and linear elastic solid matrix, and a liquid phase (water). At dynamic pressurization, water molecules exude from the hydrogel matrix and forcedly penetrate the nanopores of hydrophobic silica particles. Based on the proposed rheological model, the NPEHDCM can be suitably designed.
