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

The topology of self-assembled surfactant solutions includes varying degrees of micellar
branching, ranging from linear wormlike micelles to a micellar network. Micellar branching …

Rheological material functions are used to form our conceptual understanding of a material
response. For a nonlinear rheological response, the possible deformation protocols and …

Large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) is an increasingly popular nonlinear rheological
test method, and the interpretation of the measurements is still an active area of research …

Material functions underlie our understanding of rheology. They form the descriptive
language of rheologists and require clear definitions. Here, it is shown that the definitions of …

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 …

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

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 …

Well-defined, monodisperse homopolymer comb architectures with varied number and
length of the branches under linear and nonlinear deformation were synthesized and …

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 …
