The science of mathematical modelling and numerical simulation is
generally accepted as the third mode of scienti?c discovery (with
the other two modes being experiment and analysis), making this
?eld an integral component of c- ting edge scienti?c and industrial
research in most domains. This is especially so in advanced
biomaterials such as polymeric hydrogels responsive to biostimuli
for a wide range of potential BioMEMS applications, where
multiphysics and mul- phase are common requirements. These
environmental stimuli-responsive hydrogels are often known as smart
hydrogels. In the published studies on the smart or stimu-
responsive hydrogels, the literature search clearly indicates that
the vast majority are experimental based. In particular, although
there are a few published books on the smart hydrogels, none is
involved in the modelling of smart hydrogels. For the few published
journal papers that conducted mathematical modelling and numerical
simulation, results were far from satisfactory, and showed
signi?cant d- crepancies when compared with existing experimental
data. This has resulted in ad hoc studies of these hydrogel
materials mainly conducted by trial and error. This is a very
time-consuming and inef?cient process, and certain aspects of fun-
mental knowledge are often missed or overlooked, resulting in
off-tangent research directions.
