Over the past century, hydrogels have emerged as effective materials for an immense variety
of applications. The unique network structure of hydrogels enables very high levels of …

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

Dynamic oscillatory shear tests are common in rheology and have been used to investigate
a wide range of soft matter and complex fluids including polymer melts and solutions, block …

We explore the utility of strain-controlled large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS)
deformation for identifying and characterizing apparent yield stress responses in …

Rheological measurements on a model thixotropic suspension by Dullaert and Mewis [J.
Non-Newtonian Fluid Mech. 139 (1–2), 21–30 (2006); Rheol. Acta 45, 23–32 (2005)] are …

Using the single relaxation time corotational Maxwell fluid, we derive explicit analytical
expressions for the first, third, and fifth harmonics of the alternating shear stress response in …

When the shear stress measured in large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) deformation is
represented as a 2-D Lissajous–Bowditch curve, the corresponding trajectory can appear to …

Solvent‐based recycling is a promising approach for closed‐loop recovery of plastic‐
containing waste. It avoids the energy cost to depolymerize the plastic but still allows to …

Recent studies showed that the presence of dispersed nanoparticles (NPs) can increase the
efficiency of polymer flooding. The network structure of polymer/NP hybrid dispersion has a …

The Oldroyd 8-constant model is a continuum framework containing, as special cases, many
important constitutive equations for elastic liquids. When polymeric liquids undergo large …
