Taking a small step away from Newtonian fluid behavior creates an explosion in the range of
possibilities. Non-Newtonian fluid properties can achieve diverse flow objectives, but the …

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 …

Linear polypropylene (PP) exhibits poor foamability because of its inherently low melt
strength. Incorporation of long-chain branches is a common approach to increase melt …

This study focuses on the stretchability of brittle ionomers after introducing three types of
hydrogen bonds, ie, dual, triple, and quadruple hydrogen bonds. The introduction of dual or …

As the rheoscattering community has grown, so has the breadth of experiments both in terms
of materials systems, and also in terms of flow types and analysis approaches. In this review …

In this work, the flow-induced crystallization of two polylactides (PLAs) with different
microstructures (different l-lactic acid contents) is studied using simple shear, uniaxial …

A combined melt-stretching and quenching setup is designed and developed to allow
experimental investigations of polymer crystallization under the complex flow-temperature …

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 …

Until the advent of the novel Enders catalysts, the nonlinear rheological characterization of
polyethylene (PE) blends, containing up to 50 wt.% of ultra-high molecular weight PE …

The effects of temperature, pressure, and supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO 2)
concentration are investigated on the rheological behavior of poly (methyl methacrylate) …
