The deformations and stresses during squeeze flows are evaluated for a wider class of
materials than previously covered in articles on this subject. These include generalised …

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 …

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 …

Part I of this paper [Haward et al., J. Rheol. 67, 995–1009 (2023)] presents a three-
dimensional microfluidic device (the optimized uniaxial and biaxial extensional rheometer …

Rheological properties highly impact the foaming behavior of polymers, as a high melt
strength and low shear viscosity support cell expansion by reducing cell coalescence and …

Numerical predictions of a previously proposed thermodynamically consistent reptation
model for linear entangled polymers are presented for shear and extensional flows …

The influence of topology on the strain hardening in uniaxial elongation is investigated using
monodisperse comb and dendrigraft model polystyrenes (PS) synthesized via living anionic …

Uniaxial extensional flow behavior was measured for the high-melt-strength polypropylene
using a Meissner-type rheometer under transient extensional flow with constant tensile …

For processing operations with a pronounced elongational component, it was found that the
uniformity of extruded items is improved by the presence of strain hardening usually …

In part I, a novel hierarchical multi-mode molecular stress function (HMMSF) model for long-
chain branched (LCB) polymer melts has been proposed, which implements the basic ideas …
