Rheological behavior of polymeric liquids has been considered to be universally determined
by a few time-independent molecular parameters (such as the Rouse relaxation time and …

We review constitutive modeling of solutions and melts of linear polymers, focusing on
changes in rheological behavior in shear and extensional flow as the concentration …

Forming robust associative interactions has been an effective strategy for the design of
tough hydrogels. However, the role of associative interactions in the dynamics of hydrogels …

We investigate the nonlinear shear and uniaxial extensional rheology of entangled
polystyrene (PS) melts and solutions having the same number Z of entanglements, hence …

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 …

Natural materials teach that mechanical dissipative interactions relieve the conflict between
strength and toughness and enable fabrication of strong yet tough artificial materials …

Supramolecular polymers are used in many applications such as adhesives, coatings,
cosmetics, and printing. Characterizing the dynamics of such polymers is essential for …

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

Understanding the mechanical reinforcement of polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) filled with
agglomerated nanofillers has attracted considerable attention in the past century, but a …

In this work, polymer dynamics of the weakly attractive poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA)/
silica nanocomposites with different molecular weights of the matrix, interaction strength …
