There is considerable experimental evidence that the classical no-slip boundary condition of
fluid mechanics is not always a valid assumption for the flow of high molecular weight …

This article reviews recent results on capillary melt flow anomalies. Long standing
controversies and debates in this field are illustrated by summarizing previous results and …

The classical no-slip boundary condition of fluid mechanics is not always a valid assumption
for the flow of several classes of complex fluids including polymer melts, their blends …

The deacetylation and gelation of konjac glucomannan (KGM) following alkali addition was
investigated by Fourier transform infrared, while the rheological properties of KGM with …

Apparent violations of the no-slip boundary condition are studied using a series of narrow
molecular-weight distribution polybutadiene melts (67300≤ M̄ n≤ 650000), subjected to …

This paper explores the molecular mechanism for sharkskin formation on extrudate of linear
low density polyethylenes (LLDPE) and investigates the rheological origin of a characteristic …

The flow behavior of polyethylene melts in a slit die was investigated using laser-Doppler
velocimetry. Two polyethylenes, a linear and a long-chain branched sample, were …

The recent particle-tracking velocimetric (PTV) observations revealed that well-entangled
polymer solutions and melts tend to either exhibit wall slip or assume an inhomogeneous …

Additive layer manufacturing (ALM) is an emerging technology for production of complex
three-dimensional objects in the food sector. In this study, semi-hard model cheeses with …

A high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a poly (dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS), and an oxetane
based alternating block thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) were subjected to steady torsional …
