The review is devoted to the analysis of the current state of understanding relationships
among the deformation-induced structure transformations, observed rheological properties …

Supramolecular polymers have emerged as a scientifically challenging and technologically
important field of polymer science, because of the dynamic nature of the secondary bonds …

Understanding the deformation mechanism of amorphous polymeric materials is
indispensable for their applications but is quite challenging. Here, with amorphous …

Edge fracture is a viscoelastic instability characterized by the sudden indentation of a fluid's
free surface when the fluid is subjected to a high enough shear rate. During shear …

Using molecular dynamics simulation, we study shear banding of entangled polymer melts
under a steady shear. The steady shear stress vs shear rate curve exhibits a plateau …

Electroconvection in electrodeposition results in fast growing ramified deposits undermining
the efficacy of the process. Here we examine the effect of polymer additives in the electrolyte …

Recent models have predicted entangled polymer solutions could shear band due to
unstable flow-induced demixing. This work provides the first experimental probe of the in situ …

We develop a rheological model to approximate the nonlinear rheology of wormlike micelles
using two constitutive models to represent a structural transition at high shear rates. The …

In polymeric materials subject to both polymerization reactions and flow, there can be a
complex interplay between reactions and stress relaxation processes. For example …

Shear banding in entangled polymer solutions is an elusive phenomenon in polymer
rheology. One recently proposed mechanism for the existence of banded velocity profiles in …
