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

This is the second edition of Melt Rheology and its Role in Plastics Processing, although the
title has changed to reflect its broadened scope. Advances in the recent years in rheometer …

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

Flows of complex fluids need to be understood at both macroscopic and molecular scales,
because it is the macroscopic response that controls the fluid behavior, but the molecular …

We survey the field of micro-macro numerical techniques for predicting complex flows of
viscoelastic fluids. The micro-macro approach couples the mesoscopic scale of kinetic …

This review describes the development and application of the multipass rheometer; a servo
hydraulically driven two piston device that enables rheology and precise processing …

Non‐Newtonian fluid dynamics, which was developed during the second half of the
twentieth century, has become a part of the core research and teaching portfolio of chemical …

ABSTRACT A new experimental method for studying the mechano‐optical rheology of
polymeric liquids and soft matter materials is presented. The method is based on a …

An experimental study was made of the effects of prior molecular orientation on large tensile
deformations of polystyrene in the glassy state. A new hybrid glass‐melt constitutive model …

Fourier transform rheology (FTR) consists of analyzing the frequency spectrum of the
nonlinear torque response obtained during large-amplitude oscillatory shear. In the present …
