Polymer Processing and Rheology II


Description:
This session is used as an overflow for Polymer Processing and Rheology I, since we typically get a large number submissions in this area. This session welcomes contributions in all areas of polymer processing and rheology. Topics of interest include the relationships between molecular architecture and rheology, structure development during processing, modeling of polymer processing, the use of rheological measurements to optimize processing, and the influence of processing-induced morphology on product properties.
