Abstract:My fellow authors and I have assembled a series of articles on using rheology to understand the structure and processing of a wide range of materials. We approach this task by presenting an introduction to the concepts of rheology and some illustrative applications, followed by a description of linear vis-coelasticity and a description of the rheological behavior of elastic fluids. These concepts and related tools are then used to describe molten polymers, colloidal suspensions, latex systems, electrorheologic… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
