DOI: 10.1007/s11440-019-00762-5
Abstract: Significant chemical influence on the swelling potential of MX-80 bentonite was observed during swelling tests where specimens were hydrated with highly concentrated brine. The maximum swelling pressure for specimens hydrated with brine was about 30%… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/polym13091480
Abstract: Polyamide 6 (PA6) is known to absorb water from its environment due to its chemical structure. This water absorption leads to a change in the mechanical properties as well as an increase in volume (swelling)… read more here.
