Barth et al. proposed the use of acoustic perturbations to control shear thickening and analyzed how suspension viscosity varies with ultrasound field strength. Their study yielded the first ...

There is a strong link between what is called the weight-average molecular weight of a polymer and a parameter called the zero-shear viscosity. Although the correct link rather depends on the polymer, ...

Although water’s shear viscosity is important in accurate molecular dynamics modeling, the results from two popular water models differ from those of actual experiments by as much as 20%. In a recent ...

Plastic materials can be found in practically every aspect of everyday life, including packaged foods, furniture, construction materials, vehicles, medical devices, and personal garments (to name a ...

They were developing a new container-filling process for one of their customers, but the material they needed to move was no ordinary liquid. It was a thick, non-Newtonian polymer, so viscous that at ...
