Abstract
The aim of this paper is to study the homogenization of a diffusion process which takes place in a binary structure made by an ambient connected phase surrounding the suspensions (very small particles of diameter of order ) distributed in an -periodic network. Using the periodic unfolding method, when and go to 0 we determine the asymptotic behavior of the solution of an evolution problem.

1 We will see in Lemma 4.2 the reason of this assumption.
2 Recall that the space is the completion of for the norm . The Sobolev imbedding theorem implies that for , it is a subspace of , where is the Sobolev exponent associated to 2. Therefore, all its elements admit 0 as limit at of (in the weak sense of ).
