A book of 420 pages with the simple title Rheology, written in 2006, that's intriguing! After an
introduction and a literature survey (citing many of the classical works on fluid mechanics …

In situ synchrotron wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) and small-angle X-ray scattering
(SAXS) were used to monitor the structural and morphological developments during …

A molecular model is developed to explainthe viscoelastic behavior of entangled
homopolymer blends of an arbitrary molecular weight distribution in the terminal relaxation …

Departing from molecular based rheology and rubber theory, four different flow regimes are
identified associated to (1) the equilibrium configuration of the chains,(2) orientation of the …

Numerical and analytical methods are developed to invert the double reptation mixing rule
to determine the molecular weight distribution (MWD). An analytic method involving Mellin …

The relationship between molecular weight distribution (MWD) and linear viscoelastic
response of polymer melts was investigated with three commercial polymers and two blends …

The linear viscoelastic behavior of various polydisperse linear polymers in the melt is used
to predict their average molecular weights and polydispersity index. The method is based on …

The extreme sensitivity of rheology to the microstructure of polymer melts has prompted the
development of “analytical rheology,” which seeks inferring the structure and composition of …

Recently, the mechanism of shear induced crystallization in melts of isotactic industrial
polypropylene has been unravelled for sufficiently high rates of shear [1]. This was achieved …

Based on previous works on polymers and regular bitumens, a new method for determining
the molecular weight distribution (MWD) of asphaltic paving binders, using the phase angle …
