This tutorial review deals with one of the most remarkable forms of surfactant aggregates,
described as having a flexible, elongated cylindrical shape. Three structural scale lengths …

This paper summarizes a review of the viscosimetric, viscoelastic and rheological properties
of polymers and hybrid nanocomposite polymers. Hybrid nanocomposites can be combined …

Viscoelastic fluids are a common subclass of rheologically complex materials that are
encountered in diverse fields from biology to polymer processing. Often the flows of …

Jets, ie collimated streams of matter, occur from the microscale up to the large-scale
structure of the universe. Our focus will be mostly on surface tension effects, which result …

The extensional rheological properties of dilute polymer solutions play a dominant role in
many commercial processes such as air-assisted atomization. This is a high deformation …

In this review, we report recent developments on the shear-induced transitions and
instabilities found in surfactant wormlike micelles. The survey focuses on the nonlinear …

The steady shear and extensional rheology of aqueous guar gum solutions was studied for
concentrations, C, ranging from 1 g/L to 20 g/L. Extensional rheometry measurements were …

A filament-stretching rheometer is used to measure the extensional viscosity of a shear-
thickening suspension of cornstarch in water. The experiments are performed at a …

The topology of self-assembled surfactant solutions includes varying degrees of micellar
branching, ranging from linear wormlike micelles to a micellar network. Micellar branching …

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