Reflections on inflections
In plastics processing, the single most important rheological property is the steady shear viscosity curve: the logarithm of the steady shear viscosity versus the logarithm of the shear rate. This curve governs t...

Flexible blade coating
Flexible blades are often employed to spread liquid coating thinly onto a flat smooth substrate. In this study, we derive a fifth-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation for the thickness of a Newtonian...

Blotching in roll coating
After thermoforming, plastic parts are stacked for ship**, and these parts tend to stick together. Called nesting, sheet stock is often first coated with a silicone compound before thermoforming to prevent this...

Using large-amplitude oscillatory shear
Although linear viscoelastic properties can be measured in many ways, the small-amplitude oscillatory shear test is the most widely used method. Non-linear viscoelastic properties can also be measured in many ...

Chapter
Sliding plate and sliding cylinder rheometers
This chapter describes rheometers that are particularly advantageous for the generation of large, rapid, transient shear deformations in rheologi-cally complex materials. Such deformations are particularly use...

The relation of dynamic elastic moduli, mechanical dam** and mass density to the microstructure of some glass-matrix composites
Dynamic elastic moduli and mechanical dam** were measured with the PUCOT (piezoelectric ultrasonic composite oscillator) technique at room temperature for ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs) of the following co...

Sliding Plate and Sliding Cylinder Rheometers
The present review is concerned with rheometers that are particularly advantageous for the generation of large, rapid transient shear deformations in highly viscous, non—Newtonian fluids, viz. sliding plate an...

The use of the Piezoelectric Composite Oscillator Technique for Measuring the Viscoelasticity of Liquid Crystals
The development of liquid crystalline mixtures with short electro-optic switching times has made possible an array of new products, including hand-held televisions and lap-top computers with flat panel display...
