KW - MMC hydrogels, ternary system, unconditionally energy stable, S-SAV
AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">In this paper, we study a ternary system for macromolecular microsphere
composite (MMC) hydrogels. Assuming that the graft chains are distributed randomly
around the macromolecular microspheres, a phase transition model was constructed.
The stabilised-scalar auxiliary variable (S-SAV) approach is used to present a first-order
energy stable scheme for solving the nonlinear system. Some numerical experiments
are carried out to show the accuracy of the scheme, including the mass conservation of
the volume fractions, the decrease in the modified energy, and the influence of different
parameters.</p>
