When polymers are subjected to shear in processing operations, the long chain of molecules present in them become distorted. The molecules tend to get straightened out (oriented) because of such ...

This article discusses a number of problems that can be solved simply with an understanding of flow behavior without having to perform calculations. Given that most processes for shaping plastic and ...

They report a universal correlation between extrusion sites and positions of defects in the liquid crystal. The work opens up opportunities for further studies into the feedback between the cellular ...
