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 …

As the rheoscattering community has grown, so has the breadth of experiments both in terms
of materials systems, and also in terms of flow types and analysis approaches. In this review …

The shear and elongational rheology of linear and pom-pom shaped polystyrene (PS)
blends was investigated experimentally and modeled using constitutive models such as the …

Linear viscoelasticity (LVE) and nonlinear elongational behavior are examined for a series
of entangled ionomers based on poly (hexyl methacrylate) as the backbone and sodium …

We present basic experimental data and the theoretical background of a novel technique for
fiber spinning from polymer solutions. The principal feature of the advanced process is …

This study focuses on the stretchability of brittle ionomers after introducing three types of
hydrogen bonds, ie, dual, triple, and quadruple hydrogen bonds. The introduction of dual or …

High-shear rate rotational rheometry provides access to the fast nonlinear dynamics of soft
materials and, particularly, their shear stress (exhibiting shear thinning and/or thickening) as …

Molecular theories for dynamics of entangled polymers are based on both the number of
Kuhn segments per entanglement N e and the number of entanglements per chain N/N e …

When a semicrystalline polymer melt is processed in intense flow, the nucleation rate can be
accelerated and the resultant morphology is transformed to anisotropic structures. These …

The rigidity of an injection‐molded isotactic polypropylene (PP) containing 1, 3: 2, 4‐bis‐o‐
(4‐methylbenzylidene)‐D‐sorbitol (MDBS) as a crystal nucleating agent can be enhanced …
