Abstract
A general framework is given which describes ion and solvent populations within hydrophilic polymers containing fixed redox sites in terms of thermodynamically defined quantities. The results are presented in a form suitable for analysis of weight changes occurring in surface-immobilized polymer films as a result of redox switching. Two important general features associated with the switching process emerge. Firstly, solvent transfer will occur. Secondly, the stoichiometric coefficients describing the changes in solvent and ionic populations are not required to be integral.
