    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 ...

    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...
