Dynamic oscillatory shear tests are common in rheology and have been used to investigate
a wide range of soft matter and complex fluids including polymer melts and solutions, block …

Flow-induced crystallization has long been an important subject in polymer processing.
Varying processing conditions can produce different morphologies, which lead to different …

In the melt state at equilibrium, entangled nonconcatenated ring macromolecules adapt
more compact conformations compared to their linear analogs and do not form an …

Understanding the nonequilibrium dynamics of topologically entangled polymers under
strong external deformation has been a grand challenge in polymer science for more than …

We studied yielding in two kinds of colloidal glasses: hard spheres at high concentrations
without and with a short-range interparticle attraction induced by adding non-adsorbing …

Unlike polyolefins (eg, isotactic polypropylene), it is still a great challenge to form rich shish-
kebabs in biodegradable poly (l-lactic acid)(PLLA) because of its short chain length and …

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 …

Relaxation dynamics of nanoparticle-tethered cis-1, 4-polyisoprene (PI) are investigated
using dielectric spectroscopy and rheometry. A model system composed of polymer chains …

Immediate and effective hemostatic treatments for complex bleeding wounds are an urgent
clinical demand. Hemostatic materials with characteristics of adhesion, sealing, anti …

The aim of a small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiment is to determine the shape
and the organization, averaged in time, of particles or aggregates dispersed in a continuous …
