Classical theories of gel swelling employ the mixing free energy, thereby ignoring any effects of the free energy of the pure phases,i.e., the polymer standard free energy. In this paper we present a model for the swelling kinetics of gels that incorporates the free energy, including the polymer standard free energy. We provide a complete analysis of how the swelling kinetics and stable states and sizes of the swelled gel depends on the free energy parameters and show that theories that use only the mixing free energy cannot correctly describe equilibrium states or the swelling kinetics.
