Viscoelastic (Non-Fickian) Diffusion

This review paper deals with mass transport in macromolecular materials. The study of mass transport through polymeric composite materials for example has applications in a variety of areas such as coatings, packaging and gas separations, to name just a few. Here we discuss several models for diffusion as well as several experimental techniques. In particular, we discuss models for case II diffusion, from a continuum mechanics point of view as well as via a mesoscopic theory. Variables such as temperature, molecular structure and mechanical deformation, affecting mass transport are also discussed. Cette revue porte sur le transport de matiere dans les materiaux macromoleculaires. L'etude du transport de masse dans les materiaux composites polymeriques par exemple a des applications dans divers domaines, comme l'enrobage, l'emballage et la separation de gaz, pour en nommer quelques-uns. Nous examinons ici plusieurs modeles pour la diffusion ainsi que plusieurs techniques experimentales. En particulier, nous examinons des modeles pour la diffusion de type II, du point de vue de la mecanique des milieux continus et a partir d'une theorie mesoscopique. Des variables influant sur le transport de masse, telles la temperature, la structure moleculaire et la deformation mecanique, sont egalement etudiees.
