Rheological behavior of polymeric liquids has been considered to be universally determined
by a few time-independent molecular parameters (such as the Rouse relaxation time and …

Shear flow is ubiquitous. Not only is it arguably the most widely-used deformation type to
characterise complex fluids in rheological studies but also, in practice, the deformation most …

The advances in understanding the dynamics of both the physically and chemically
reversible networks are summarized from a rheological perspective. The focus is placed on …

Steady-state shear viscosity η (γ̇) of unconcatenated ring polymer melts as a function of the
shear rate γ̇ is studied by a combination of experiments, simulations, and theory …

We provide a Perspective on recent findings in extensional rheology for polymer melts and
solutions with different macromolecular architectures. For linear polymer systems, we focus …

Covalent adaptable networks (CANs) can be classified into dissociative (Diss-CANs) and
associative (Asso-CANs) networks according to the exchange mechanism of covalent …

Understanding the nonequilibrium dynamics of topologically entangled polymers under
strong external deformation has been a grand challenge in polymer science for more than …

Mark–Houwink parameters are determined for sodium alginate with low (SA LV) and
medium (SA MV) molecular mass via a rheological approach. Firstly, salt screening …

Adding small amounts of ring polymers to a matrix of their linear counterparts is known to
increase the zero-shear-rate viscosity because of linear-ring threading. Uniaxial extensional …

We elucidate the influence of chemical structure on macromolecular hydrodynamics,
rheological response, and pinching dynamics underlying drop formation/liquid transfer using …
