Viscoelastic surfactants (VES) are amphiphilic molecules which self-assemble into long
polymer-like aggregates—wormlike micelles. Such micellar chains form an entangled …

We present a comprehensive review of the current state of fracture phenomena in transient
networks, a wide class of viscoelastic fluids. We will first define what is a fracture in a …

Dynamics of poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) hydrogels having chemical and physical transient
cross-links simultaneously (dual cross-link PVA gels) were studied by microrheology based …

The design and effective application of supramolecular transient polymer networks based on
the assembly of entangled polymer building blocks requires not only precise description of …

Supramolecular polymers are known to form strong and resilient hydrogels which can take
up large amounts of water while exhibiting ease of processing and self-healing. They also …

Hydrophobically modified ethoxylated urethanes (HEURs) are associative polymers that,
compared to others, are far less sensitive to solution parameters, especially pH and ionic …

We studied the rheological and mechanical properties of a series of poly (vinyl alcohol) dual
crosslink hydrogels, permanently crosslinked by glutaraldehyde and transiently crosslinked …

Stable viscoelastic suspensions of bentonite clay particles in semi-dilute solutions of
wormlike micelles of mixed zwitterionic (oleyl amidopropyl dimethyl carboxybetaine) and …

Hypothesis The relaxation time in viscoelastic surfactant solutions is a function of
temperature, salt/surfactant concentrations, resting conditions, as well as shear frequency …

Supramolecular polymers have emerged as a scientifically challenging and technologically
important field of polymer science, because of the dynamic nature of the secondary bonds …
