This article gives a review of the entanglement dynamics of flexible polymer chains from
theoretical and experimental points of view. The global motion of the entangled chains …

There is considerable experimental evidence that the classical no-slip boundary condition of
fluid mechanics is not always a valid assumption for the flow of high molecular weight …

Well, the book is based on a course in introductory rheology for undergraduate and first-year
graduate students in chemical and mechanical engineering. Thus the book's aim is to …

A powerful but still easy to use technique is proposed for the processing and analysis of
dynamic mechanical data. The experimentally determined dynamic moduli, G′(ω) and G …

Several polyethylene and polyethylene-based copolymers were used to modify a 70/100
penetration grade asphalt from vacuum distillation. The morphological and storage stability …

The rheological properties of star-shaped polyisoprenes having a wide range of arm
numbers and arm molecular weights are reported. In contrast to linear polymers, stars have …

Colloidal gels formed by arrested phase separation are found widely in agriculture,
biotechnology, and advanced manufacturing; yet, the emergence of elasticity and the nature …

Most technological improvements are realized through application of rheology used to
modify properties of materials. At the same time, rheology is a complex discipline not fully …

Transient and steady‐state recoverable strains in shear and uniaxial elongation were
measured with rheometers of different type. Results on melts of linear and branched …

We report a simple correlation between microstructure and strain-dependent elasticity in
colloidal gels by visualizing the evolution of cluster structure in high strain-rate flows. We …
