A modified Boltzmann sigmoidal model for the phase transition of smart gels

Smart gels are soft polymeric systems that exhibit a reversible phase transition when exposed to environmental stimuli. A modified Boltzmann sigmoidal equation is proposed to model the phase transition behavior of smart gels. The equation can be solved through nonlinear conventional mathematical tec...
