The provided data describe the analytical results obtained by the definition of a swelling-diffusion model for investigating the behavior of smart polymers.

The proposed stress-diffusion model is employed to investigate three particular and consecutive processes. Furthermore, an incremental approach is formulated in order to extend the Biot’s theory of linear poroelasticity towards prestressed bodies.

The proposed formulation and the presented results will be a useful tool which can be exploited by the scientific community in order to compare and validate numerical, analytical and experimental investigations concerning constrained gels.
