Microstructural evolution in polymer blends
CL Tucker III, P Moldenaers - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2002 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Microstructure in an immiscible polymer blend consists of the size, shape, and
orientation of the phases. Blends exhibit many interesting behaviors, including enhanced …

Emulsion drops in external flow fields—the role of liquid interfaces
We review the flow of emulsion drops, focusing on recent work involving complex interfaces,
which may include the presence of surfactants, particles, surface-active polymers, or solid …
