Bridging Microscopic Dynamics and Hydraulic Permeability in Mechanically-Deformed Nanoporous Materials
Résumé
In the field of nanoconfined fluids, there are striking examples of deformation/transport coupling in which mechanical solicitation of the confining host and dynamics of the confined fluid impact each other. While this intriguing behavior can be potentially used for practical applications (e.g. energy storage, phase separation, catalysis), the underlying mechanisms remain to be understood as they challenge existing frameworks. Here, using molecular simulations analyzed through concepts inherent to interfacial fluids, we investigate fluid flow in compliant nanoporous materials subjected to external mechanical stresses. We show that the pore mechanical properties significantly affect fluid
