Photophysical and photochemical methods are used to examine the interior surfaces of zeolite X and Y. These methods are also used to examine the effect of co-adsorbed solvent molecules on photo-induced processes in these zeolites. In particular, the effect of solvent on the diffusive motion in and between the zeolite cages is illustrated. Finally, the unique charge trapping and charge stabilization of the zeolite is shown.

A polymer network can imbibe copious amounts of solvent (water) and swell, and the resulting state is known as a hydrogel. In this study, we have made the modification for the all-atom consistent valence force field (CVFF) to investigate the swelling property of polyacrylamide (PAM) hydrogel by molecular dynamics simulation. We have built 21 hydrogel models with different solvent contents and calculate the average chemical potential and diffusion coefficient of solvent molecules in PAM hydrogel. We find that when the mass fraction of solvent is about 90%, PAM hydrogel reaches its free swelling limitation and loses the motivation of absorbing solvent. Furthermore, it is also found that PAM hydrogel has a phase transition phenomenon when the values of solvent chemical potential are between [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]kcal/mol and [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]kcal/mol. This study will provide insight into the basic parameters which are widely used in continuum mechanics analysis of hydrogels from atomic point of view and help researchers to improve the continuum mechanics model for neutral hydrogel.
