In addition, the polymer is stretched by an externally applied force. We find that the wall has a dramatic effect ...<br/>[Phys. Rev.

Guery, J. Baudry, D. A. Weitz, P. M. Chaikin, and J. Bibette<br/>The permeability of solids has long been associated with a diffusive process involving activated mechanism as originally envisioned by Eyring. Tensile stress can affect the activation energy but definitive experiments of the diffusion rate of species through a stressed solid are lacking.

Danel, L. Kazandjian, and G. Zérah<br/>A form of the linear mixing rule involving the equality of excess pressures is tested with various mole fractions and various types of orbital-free molecular dynamics simulations. For all the cases considered, this mixing rule yields, within statistical error, the pressure of a mixture of helium and...<br/>[Phys. Rev. E 79, 066408] Published Fri Jun 26, 2009 J-F. Danel, L.
