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 …

To optimize automation for polymer processing, attempts have been made to simulate the
flow of entangled polymers. In industry, fluid dynamics simulations with phenomenological …

Polymeric Liquids & Networks: Dynamics and Rheology is the second part of a two-volume
treatise serving as a status report on a broad area of polymer science research. It represents …

The Doi− Edwards (DE) theory for the rheological properties of entangled polymer melts and
solutions successfully predicts the response to large step-shear strains but fails to predict …

Well-entangled monodisperse linear polystyrene melts exhibit monotonic thinning of the
steady state elongational viscosity with increasing the strain rate ε̇ even beyond the Rouse …

Abstract By generalizing the Doi-Edwards model to the Molecular Stress Function theory of
Wagner and Schaeffer, the extensional viscosities of polyolefin melts in uniaxial, equibiaxial …

Recent data by Hassager and co-workers [Bach et al. Macromolecules 2003, 36, 5174] of
elongational viscosity of nearly monodisperse polystyrene melts are interpreted by including …

Flow-based manipulation of particles is an essential tool for studying soft materials, but prior
work has nearly exclusively relied on using two-dimensional (2D) flows generated in planar …

Elongational behavior of four narrow molar mass distribution polystyrene melts of masses 50
000, 100 000, 200 000, and 390 000, g∕ mol, respectively was investigated up to Hencky …

The damping function has been a concept introduced in rheology since more than 30 years
ago, and although a similar concept was already earlier implemented in studying rubber …
