Since the first publications of large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) responses of
polymeric materials in the 1960s, different approaches have been developed to express …

An active fluid denotes a viscous suspension of particles, cells, or macromolecules able to
convert chemical energy into mechanical work by generating stresses on the microscale. By …

Gelation temperature is a critical factor for starch-based emulsion-filled gel structure design.
Its role in the rheological properties under small and large amplitude oscillatory shear and …

Abstract Addition of 1%(w/w) soy lecithin increased the shear moduli 10-fold and gel
hardness 20-fold for 10% ethylcellulose (EC) oleogels. Higher lecithin addition levels or …

The flow properties of ionic polysaccharides are determined by the interplay of electrostatic
and hydrophobic interactions, which depend on the ionic strength and pH of the solvent. We …

Abstract Fourier Transform coupled with Chebyshev Polynomials (FTC) and Sequence of
Physical Processes (SPP) are used to study and interpret the large amplitude oscillatory …

To describe the macroscopic rheological behavior of thixotropic elasto-visco-plastic (TEVP)
materials, phenomena that take place in their microstructure must be accounted for. To this …

Viscoelasticity or rheology is important in polymer science and engineering because it plays
a crucial role in production and characterization of polymeric materials. Understanding the …

A century ago, and more than a decade before the term rheology was formally coined,
Bingham introduced the concept of plastic flow above a critical stress to describe steady flow …

The effects of Cloisite nanoparticulate clays on the morphologies of three biodegradable
polymer blends, that is, poly (lactic acid)(PLA)/poly (ε-caprolactone)(PCL), PLA/poly …
