Rheological testing of thermoplastic materials can be carried out on both melts and solid samples. Issues related to process ability can be correlated with polymer melt properties, or problems ...
EXTENSIVE results have been published showing the existence of an upper (high shear rate) Newtonian region for dilute polymer solutions 1. This has been shown to be of considerable value in ...
Plastic materials can be found in practically every aspect of everyday life, including packaged foods, furniture, construction materials, vehicles, medical devices, and personal garments (to name a ...
An international research team is attracting the attention of experts in the field with computational results on the behavior of ring polymers under shear forces: Reyhaneh Farimani, University of ...
Rheology is the study of the flow and deformation of materials under applied forces, covering both liquids and solids. It examines how materials respond to stress, strain or flow, revealing ...
They were developing a new container-filling process for one of their customers, but the material they needed to move was no ordinary liquid. It was a thick, non-Newtonian polymer, so viscous that at ...
• We have developed a new polymer-blending technique with only a high-shear flow field without any additives. • We have enabled nano-scale dispersion of immiscible polymers by blending with high-shear ...
This article explores the PET flow properties, showcasing how temperature and shear rates affect viscosity, essential for ...
Rheological experiments are performed either by applying a small stress to the sample and measuring the strain developed or by applying a fixed amount of strain and measuring the developed stress.
An international research team is attracting the attention of experts in the field with computational results on the behavior of ring polymers under shear forces: They showed that for the simplest ...
