  • Extensional characterization of weakly-viscoelastic fluids : methods & applications

    Creator:
    Marshall, Kristin A.
    Abstract:
    The addition of macromolecules to solvent, even in dilute quantities, can significantly alter a fluid's response in an extensional, or stretching, flow. When high-molecular-weight polymers are extended in solution, extensional thickening can result, yielding viscosities that are orders of magnitude larger than values found in shear. Examples of applications where...
