Over the past 25 years, IRIS has become an integral resource in materials laboratories
around the world, bringing together stimulating communities of rheology experimentalists …

The damping function has been a concept introduced in rheology since more than 30 years
ago, and although a similar concept was already earlier implemented in studying rubber …

In order to study the rheology of long chain branched polymers, branches have been added
on linear polypropylene precursors in varying amounts using reactive modification with …

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 …

The POM–POM architecture is the simplest yet defined branched architecture, showing both
strain hardening in elongation and strain softening in shear. The molecular structure …

Recent data by Hassager and co-workers [Bach et al. Macromolecules 2003, 36, 5174] of
elongational viscosity of nearly monodisperse polystyrene melts are interpreted by including …

The start-up and steady uniaxial elongational viscosity have been measured for two
monodisperse polystyrene melts with molecular weights of 52 and 103 kg∕ mole, and for …

Studying the mechanical response of nearly monodisperse linear and comb polystyrene
(PS) melts to medium amplitude oscillatory shear (MAOS), Hyun and Wilhelm …

We survey the field of micro-macro numerical techniques for predicting complex flows of
viscoelastic fluids. The micro-macro approach couples the mesoscopic scale of kinetic …

A Pom-Pom polymer with qa side chains of molecular weight M w, a at both ends of a
backbone chain of molecular weight M w, b is the simplest branched polymer topology. Ten …
