Sample environments are an essential and integral inclusion to all neutron scattering
experiments. This review describes recent advances in such devices across the full …

The effect of cyclic straining on stress softening/hysteresis and structural evolution silica
filled deuterated silicone rubber (SFdSR) during cyclic deformation has been investigated. In …

A complete set of model-independent viscoelastic functions for understanding responses to
transient nonlinear rheological tests is presented, using large-amplitude oscillatory shear …

Synchrotron radiation (SR) X‐ray and neutron scattering provide excellent probes for the
investigation of polymeric material. Based on high brilliant beam with a tunable wavelength …

Soft materials are usually defined as materials made of mesoscopic entities, often self-
organised, sensitive to thermal fluctuations and to weak perturbations. Archetypal examples …

The recoverable strain is shown to correlate to the temporal evolution of microstructure via
time-resolved small-angle neutron scattering and dynamic shear rheology. Investigating two …

The ability to measure the bulk dynamic behavior of soft materials with combined time and
frequency resolution is instrumental for improving our fundamental understanding of …

Changes in the crystalline and mesoscale lamellar structure during plastic deformation of
semicrystalline polymers have been extensively studied by X-ray diffraction techniques …

Understanding how microscopic rearrangements manifest in macroscopic flow responses is
one of the central goals of nonlinear rheological studies. Using the sequence-of-physical …

Magnetorheological gel (MRG) is a kind of magneto-sensitive smart composite whose
nonlinear rheological behavior is highly controllable by external magnetic fields. For filling …
