Introduction to Polymer Rheology Shi-Qing Wang Department of Polymer Science, University of Akron, Ohio 44325 Introduction The missions of polymer rheology phenomenological (Maxwell level), linear viscoelasticity a) characterization tools structural (molecular level), i.e., molecular weight, MWD, chain architecture (branching, functional moieties), thus heavily model dependent and theoretically intensive nonlinear aspects b) a sub-field of polymer science fluid mechanics of polymers – numerically intensive processing behavior i. Fluid dynamics/mechanics - study flow behavior
