Macromolecules and the Journal of Polymer Science published articles on the predictive precision and versatility of this computational technique. Viscoelasticity is an important physical property in ...

Polymer thin films are widely used in a number of processes, including artificial skin and anti-reflective coatings. A knowledge of their viscoelastic features at multiple temperatures is crucial for ...

When designing polymers to achieve desired characteristics, such as toughness, elasticity, and resilience, you must not only consider the type of polymer, but also the mechanics of its macromolecular ...

Microscale mechanisms and their relation to macroscopic behavior and mathematical constitutive modeling for advanced material systems. Emphasis on polymer viscoelasticity, shape memory materials, ...

Viscoelastic polymer dynamics and kinetic models represent a vibrant interdisciplinary field that bridges molecular theory with macroscopic flow behaviour in complex fluids. At its core, the subject ...

Typical nanomechanical applications include measuring elastic modulus, friction and adhesion. Viscoelastic materials, which include polymers and biological materials, have elastic properties that ...

If the mist in a dentist's office -- sent flying into the air by spinning, vibrating tools -- contains a virus or some other pathogen, it is a health hazard. So researchers studied the viscoelastic ...

Liquids are an important part of our everyday lives. Fluids such as water are Newtonian, and their viscous behavior is well understood. However, many common fluids are viscoelastic. These fluids, such ...
