Styrene‐butadiene rubber (SBR) is currently the main material for manufacturing passenger
car tire treads due to excellent mechanical properties. The SBR is usually subjected to …

In order to construct the geometric models characterizing the real micro pore-fracture
structures of nylon-uncured rubber composite, and further compare the distribution law in the …

Entangled melts undergo rupture in startup uniaxial extension beyond a threshold Hencky
rate. Contrary to the recent conclusion from Wagner et al.[J. Rheol. 62, 221 (2018)] that …

This study examines nonlinear rheological responses to uniaxial extension of two entangled
polystyrene (PS) solutions and two PS melts. Several unusual characteristics are revealed …

Existing research tends to focus on the performance of cured rubber. This is due to a lack of
suitable testing methods for the mechanical properties of uncured rubber, in particular …

Polymeric glasses are important engineering materials in industry application and they are
also of great academic interest. Unlike non-polymeric glasses rarely yielding during the …
