Since the first publications of large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) responses of
polymeric materials in the 1960s, different approaches have been developed to express …

Oral lubrication deals with one of the most intricate examples of biotribology, where surfaces
under sliding conditions span from the hardest enamel to soft oral tissues in human …

Although mechanisms of how physical forces convert into biochemical signals are
increasingly understood, it is still unknown how soft cues guide cell behavior. Herein, it is …

Star polymers with intermediate branching functionalities (64 and 128 arms) are known to
exhibit a hybrid viscoelastic response, relaxing stress via a fast polymeric arm retraction and …

We review notations for, along with ways of presenting, the shear stress responses to large-
amplitude oscillatory shear flow (LAOS). We find that the Fourier loss and storage viscosities …

Because of the lack of constraints for crystallization, disentangled ultrahigh molecular weight
polyethylene (UHMWPE) materials prepared by solution crystallization or low-temperature …

Gel‐spinning of ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers has attracted
great interest in academia and industry since its birth and commercialization in the 1980s …

The morphologies and molecular weight characteristics of nascent UHMWPEs were
reported in our previous work. In order to understand the effect of entanglement state on non …

The heterogenization of 2, 6-dimethylarylimido–vanadium (V) dichloride via chemical
tethering on insoluble silica supports is reported. The effects of the silica particle size, drying …

Measurement of the viscoelastic properties of polymer solids, melts, and solutions is broadly
practiced. The so‐called “frequency sweep” appears in thousands of publications, with data …
