Micelles are formed by the self-assembly of surfactants in solutions. Wormlike micelles or
living polymers are a particularly interesting fluids because their long flexible cylindrical …

Understanding and characterizing the influence of polymers and surfactants on rheology,
application, and processing is critical for designing complex fluid formulations for enhanced …

Capillary-driven thinning of a liquid bridge is commonly used to measure the extensional
rheology of macromolecular solutions for assessment of material sprayability, printability …

Boger fluids that exhibit a rate-independent shear viscosity (typically∼ 1 Pa∙ s= 1000x water
viscosity) and elasticity measurable using torsional rheometers (modulus, relaxation time, or …

We report experiments on flow of wormlike micellar solutions past a falling sphere. By
increasing the salt-to-surfactant concentration ratio, and beyond a viscosity peak, wormlike …

We study the spreading dynamics of a sphere-shaped elastic non-Newtonian liquid drop on
a spherical substrate in the capillary-driven regime. We use the simplified Phan–Thien …

Polymer rheology describes the response of macromolecular solutions and melts to applied
deformation and flow. One of the longstanding and challenging goals of macromolecular …

A wormlike micelle (WLM) solution is a complex fluid that forms when the surfactant
concentration is high. It has rheological properties similar to those of polymer solutions …

The Filament Extension Atomizer™(FEA) is a unique technology designed for highly viscous
or strain-hardening fluids that are otherwise difficult to atomize. The fluid is processed as a …

Polymers are widely used in various applications and their behavior and final properties
strongly depend on the processing conditions such as temperature, presence of pressure …
