In this review, I present an idiosyncratic view of the current state of shear banding in complex
fluids. Particular attention is paid to some of the outstanding issues and questions facing the …

Rheological characterization of physically crosslinked peptide‐and protein‐based hydrogels
is widely reported in the literature. In this review, we focus on solid injectable hydrogels …

Recent experimental techniques used to investigate shear banding are reviewed. After
recalling the rheological signature of shear-banded flows, we summarize the various tools …

Recent experimental evidence has motivated us to present a set of new theoretical
considerations and to provide a rationale for interpreting the intriguing flow phenomena …

A predictive multiscale computational framework has been proposed to study the
viscoelastic properties of polymeric materials. Using the Inverse Boltzmann Method, both the …

We study theoretically the onset of shear banding in the three most common time-dependent
rheological protocols: step stress, finite strain ramp (a limit of which gives a step strain), and …

This work formulates, at a molecular level, a phenomenological theoretical description of the
brittle-ductile transition (BDT) in tensile extension, exhibited by all polymeric glasses of high …

The rheology of molecular brushes remains challenging to control due to the multiple length
scales and relaxation processes involved and the lack of direct observation of molecular …

Integrating latest research results and characterization techniques, this book helps readers
understand and apply fundamental principles in nonlinear polymer rheology. The author …

Velocity profiles of six entangled polybutadiene solutions (PBD) have been determined
during startup shear using a particle tracking velocimetric (PTV) technique, where the …
