Viscoelastic fluids are a common subclass of rheologically complex materials that are
encountered in diverse fields from biology to polymer processing. Often the flows of …

We briefly review the recent advances in the rheology of entangled polymers and identify
emerging research trends and outstanding challenges, especially with respect to branched …

We study theoretically the onset of shear banding in the three most common time-dependent
rheological protocols: step stress, finite strain ramp (a limit of which gives a step strain), and …

A combination of extensional rheological and in situ synchrotron radiation small-angle X-ray
scattering (SR-SAXS) measurements was introduced to investigate critical strain ε* for shish …

The flow and deformation of macromolecules is ubiquitous in nature and industry, and an
understanding of this phenomenon at both macroscopic and microscopic length scales is of …

Integrating latest research results and characterization techniques, this book helps readers
understand and apply fundamental principles in nonlinear polymer rheology. The author …

The review is devoted to the fundamental problems of physical chemistry and rheology
posed in the analysis of stability loss of polymer jets in extension. Studies of phenomena …

In 1975 Doi and Edwards predicted that entangled polymer melts and solutions can have a
constitutive instability, signified by a decreasing stress for shear rates greater than the …

We present a detailed systematic investigation of the transient uniaxial extensional response
of a series of well-characterized, anionically synthesized comb polystyrenes and …

A novel rate-dependent and self-healing conductive composite with a well-defined shear
stiffening (S-ST) effect was facilely fabricated by dispersing multi-walled carbon nanotubes …
