The review is devoted to the analysis of the current state of understanding relationships
among the deformation-induced structure transformations, observed rheological properties …

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 …

Understanding the kinematics and dynamics of spreading, pinching, and coalescence of
drops is critically important for a diverse range of applications involving spraying, printing …

It is challenging to find a conventional nanofabrication technique that can consistently
produce soft polymeric matter of high surface area and nanoscale morphology in a way that …

We study the extensional flow properties of polyacrylamide (PAM) solutions with various
molecular weights and dispersities using a drip**-onto-substrate (DoS) protocol. A recent …

We elucidate the influence of chemical structure on macromolecular hydrodynamics,
rheological response, and pinching dynamics underlying drop formation/liquid transfer using …

We show that poly (ethylene oxide)(PEO) solutions formulated using solvent mixtures of
acetonitrile (AcN) and water can be centrifugally spun into fibers. We find that spinnability …

Quantitative studies of capillarity-driven pinching and extensional rheology of aqueous
solutions of polysaccharides like hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) are beyond the measurable …

Charge-bearing groups that ionize in solution influence the macromolecular conformations,
interactions, and dynamics of polyelectrolytes. The rich and complex shear rheological …

Sorbents with structures tailored at the molecular through device scales are needed to meet
the demand for separations that can isolate trace analytes from complex mixtures. Here …
