Different possible mechanisms of non-Newtonian behavior of polymeric and multi-
component materials in shearing are discussed. There are two main types of the non …

Rheological equations of state are of great importance for characterization of polymer melts
and for simulation of polymer processing. This concise review considers tube model based …

The focus of this paper was to gain a true understanding of the impact of a multifunctional
epoxide (Joncryl®; ADR-4368) on the interfacial properties of biopolymer blends based on …

The relaxation processes of a wide variety of soft materials frequently contain one or more
broad regions of power-law like or stretched exponential relaxation in time and frequency …

Studying the mechanical response of nearly monodisperse linear and comb polystyrene
(PS) melts to medium amplitude oscillatory shear (MAOS), Hyun and Wilhelm …

We present systematic, unique linear and nonlinear shear rheology data of an
experimentally pure ring polystyrene and its linear precursor. This polymer was synthesized …

This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date description of the diagnosis and
management of dysphagia, with particular reference to oral and pharyngeal dysfunction. All …

We study theoretically the formation of shear bands in time-dependent flows of polymeric
and wormlike micellar surfactant fluids, focussing on the protocols of step shear stress, step …

ABSTRACT A system undergoing sol–gel transition passes through a unique point, known
as the critical gel state, where it forms the weakest space spanning percolated network. We …

In this work, we mathematically derive the conditions for which empirical rheometric relations
such as the Cox–Merz rule and Gleissle mirror relationship are satisfied. We consider the …
