New publication:
Moisture absorption in cationic hydrogels

November 11th, 2025 | by

We are delighted to present another study by our working group in the specialist journal Polymers. In their latest publication, Tim Mrohs and Oliver Weichold show how the water absorption behaviour of diallylammonium-based hydrogels can be specifically controlled by cross-linking density and ionic interactions. The results provide design rules for moisture control, demonstrate endothermic sorption processes and shed light on how reversible ionic crosslinks can improve water absorption.
