TI - A Phenomenological Model for Desorption in Polymers T2 - Computers, Materials \& Continua PY - 2009 VL - 13 IS - 1 SN - 1546-2226 AB - A phenomenological formulation is adopted to investigate desorption in polymers. The speed of the front is studied and the well-posedness of the general model is analyzed. Numerical simulations illustrating the dynamics of the desorption process described by the proposed model are included.
