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 …

Complex fluids and soft materials are ubiquitous in nature and industry. In industrial
processes, these materials often get exposed to high hydrostatic pressures. Some examples …

The classical no-slip boundary condition of fluid mechanics is not always a valid assumption
for the flow of several classes of complex fluids including polymer melts, their blends …

The wall slip and melt fracture behaviour of several commercial polylactides (PLAs) as well
as their rheological properties under shear and extensional have been investigated. The …

Concepts in interface science apply to a plethora of use cases in various subfields of
chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering. Changing interests in applications over time …

The slip behavior of several high-density polyethylenes (HDPEs) is studied as a function of
molecular weight (M w) and its distribution for broad molecular weight distribution …

Spurt occurs in the flow of entangled melts in a capillary rheometer in which the driving
pressure is controlled. As the driving pressure increases, at a critical value there is a sudden …

We study yielding at interface between a solid wall and entangled polymer melts. At a
average rate higher than the terminal relaxation rate, a combination of rheometric and …

The slip behavior of several high-density polyethylenes (HDPEs) is studied as a function of
molecular weight (MW) and its distribution for a broad range of MW distributions. The slip …

In this work, the all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is employed to study the flow
characteristics of polyethylene (PE) melts in a nanoconfined system. Except for the wall slip …
