Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Soft Matter Emerging Investigator – Jeremy Cho
Jeremy Cho is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). Previously, he was a postdoctoral research associate at Princeton University in the Chemical and Biological Engineering Department where he studied water transport and solid mechanics of granular hydrogel systems. He received his PhD and SM in mechanical engineering from MIT where he focus
Article Description
Hydrogels have a distinct combination of mechanical and water-transport behaviors. As hydrogels stiffen when they de-swell, they become less permeable. Here, we combine de Gennes' semi-dilute polymer theory with the Kozeny-Carman equation to develop a simple, succinct scaling law describing the relationship between mechanical stiffness and hydraulic permeability where permeability scales with stiffness to the −8/9 power. We find a remarkably close agreement between the scaling law and experimental results across four different polymer families with varied crosslinkings. This inverse relationship establishes a fundamental trade-off between permeability and stiffness.
