Extensional structures provide some of the world's largest known oil reservoirs and remain one of the major frontier plays of the immediate future, both onshore and, particularly, in deep water ...

This is because the plastic is constantly expanding or stretching in those processes. Two polymers may have identical shear flow behavior, but they could exhibit different extensional flow behavior ...

Complex fluids, such as polymer melts and concentrated suspensions, are foundational materials for industrial products, including high-strength plastics and optical components. The final performance ...

Abstract In the North China block, the south Liaodong Peninsula massif is an elliptical metamorphic core complex (MCC) with a long axis trending NE‐SW. In cross‐section view, it is asymmetric, with a ...

Researchers from NITech, Japan, have recently developed a novel full-field extensional rheo-optical technique that can accurately characterize structural deformations in a complex fluid under ...
