The structure of branched polysaccharides involves a hierarchy of levels, from the
constituent sugars, then the branching pattern, up to the macromolecular architecture, and …

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 …

Grafting density is an important structural parameter that exerts significant influences over
the physical properties of architecturally complex polymers. In this report, the physical …

Well-defined, monodisperse homopolymer comb architectures with varied number and
length of the branches under linear and nonlinear deformation were synthesized and …

Chain branching has been investigated in a homologous series of poly (n-alkyl
acrylates)(methyl, ethyl, n-butyl, n-hexyl) obtained by radical polymerization. The total …

We present a new, free, and open source reptate (rheology of entangled polymers: toolkit for
analysis of theory and experiment) software package for viewing, exchanging, and …

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

We present a systematic investigation of the linear viscoelasticity and nonlinear start-up
shear flow response of a well-characterized H-polystyrene, an archetype branched polymer …

The motion of entangled polymers is marked by their ability to make conformational
adjustments, which is mediated by their free ends. A credible account of the basic features of …

We report the synthesis and characterization by temperature gradient interaction
chromatography (TGIC) and rheometry of a symmetric H-shaped polybutadiene (PBd) that …
