Permeation of Water Through Fiber-Reinforced Polymers

EasyChair Preprint 2442

Abstract

This study examines the permeation process of a solvent through fiber-reinforced polymers. The direction of the fibers is initially random. The mathematical model we have formulated consists of EDPs governing equations that incorporate the coupling arising between mass transport of small organic molecules and the dynamical changes of the orientation of the fibers. The influence of the the orientation of the embedded fibers as well as their volume fraction is discussed. We have generalized the first Fick's law by the addition of two non-Fickean new terms. We show the profiles of the mass fraction, swelling of the membrane and the unsteady permeation flux.

Keyphrases: Fibres, Non-Fikienne, perméation, polymère
