van Soestbergen, M. (author), Herrmann, A. (author), Erich, S.J.F. (author), Adan, O.C.G. (author)The diffusivity of substances, such as moisture, through polymer composites is often described by an effective macroscopic quantity, even though microscopically the diffusivity might be far from uniform. In this work, we study the theoretical example of a permeable matrix containing equal-sized impermeable spheres. We assume that, due to...article 2021

Valerio, O. (author), Muthuraj, R. (author), Codou, A.M.F.M.S. (author)Polymers are one of the most versatile materials because oftheir excellent cost to performance ratio and durability. Thesereasons have driven the extensive usage of polymers in manycommon applications, and often, their lifespan exceeds theneeds of the application. This generates streams of polymerwastes which retain a substantial amount of their...article 2020
