Architectural coatings/paints play a very important role in our world, making our houses and
workplaces beautiful, comfortable, and energy-efficient. Polymeric components of coating …

We present a comprehensive review of the current state of fracture phenomena in transient
networks, a wide class of viscoelastic fluids. We will first define what is a fracture in a …

We investigate the steady and transient shear and extensional rheological properties of a
series of model hydrophobically modified ethoxylate− urethane (HEUR) polymers with …

In this paper a network model for wormlike micellar solutions is presented which
incorporates scission and reforming of the chains, based on a discrete version of …

A new constitutive equation for whole human blood is derived using ideas drawn from
temporary polymer network theory to model the aggregation and disaggregation of …

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 …

This paper is concerned with the rheological modeling of untreated carbon nanotubes
(CNTs) suspended within an epoxy resin. The untreated CNT suspensions exhibited …

Nonequilibrium computer simulations have been applied to study the shear and extensional
flow behavior of supramolecular polymer networks (SPNs) formed by unentangled and …

Wormlike micelles are self-assemblies of polymer chains that can break and recombine
reversibly. In this paper, we derive a thermodynamically consistent two-species micro …

In this work, non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) is used to simulate simple shear
flow of associative polymer solutions of the telechelic and multi-sticker types. The objective …
