Rheology has a key position in polymer research, being an important link in the so-called
'chain of knowledge'reaching from the production of polymers to their end-use properties. A …

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 …

Well, the book is based on a course in introductory rheology for undergraduate and first-year
graduate students in chemical and mechanical engineering. Thus the book's aim is to …

A book of 420 pages with the simple title Rheology, written in 2006, that's intriguing! After an
introduction and a literature survey (citing many of the classical works on fluid mechanics …

The dynamics of entangled flexible polymers is dominated by physics general to many
chemical systems. It is an appealing interdisciplinary field where experimental and …

The following sections are included: Advances in Mathematical Modelling Dynamics of
Dilute Polymer Solutions The Rouse model Dumbbell models Closure Approximations …

The Pom–Pom model, recently introduced by McLeish and Larson [J. Rheol. 42, 81–110
(1998)], is a breakthrough in the field of viscoelastic constitutive equations. With this model …

We present experiments and theory on the melt dynamics of monodisperse entangled
polymers of H-shaped architecture. Frequency-dependent rheological data on a series of …

The molecular stress function theory for polymer melts is extended to include a new,
dissipative convective constraint release process. First the Helmholtz free energy of tube …

Well-defined, monodisperse homopolymer comb architectures with varied number and
length of the branches under linear and nonlinear deformation were synthesized and …
