Abstract
In this paper, we consider a finite-strain theory for solute transport in polymer gels. With this modeling approach, we emphasize the main underlying phenomena of fluids permeation in a spherical gel immersed in a fluid bath through a numerical study. Besides the large deformation, we describe the volume changes of the gel and the amount of solute with various elasticity moduli as functions of swelling and deswelling time in the fluid bath.
