Polymers and rheology were both born in the twenties of the last century, fruit of the
disruptive and creative scientific atmosphere of this decade. The development of polymer …

We provide a Perspective on recent findings in extensional rheology for polymer melts and
solutions with different macromolecular architectures. For linear polymer systems, we focus …

Over the last three decades, a variety of additive manufacturing techniques have gradually
gained maturity and will potentially play an important role in future manufacturing industries …

Monodisperse comb polystyrenes (comb-PS) with loosely to densely grafted architectures
up to loosely grafted bottlebrush structures were synthesized via anionic polymerization …

The characterization of the extensional rheology of polymeric solutions is important in
several applications and industrial processes. Filament stretching and capillary breakup …

The shear and elongational rheology of linear and pom-pom shaped polystyrene (PS)
blends was investigated experimentally and modeled using constitutive models such as the …

Rheological equations of state are of great importance for characterization of polymer melts
and for simulation of polymer processing. This concise review considers tube model based …

Strain hardening of long-chain branched polymers in elongational flow occurs due to the
stretch of the backbone chain between branch points. With an increasing number of side …

Abstract The Hierarchical Multi-mode Molecular Stress Function (HMMSF) model predicts
