Chain-Stretch Relaxation from Low Frequency Fourier Transform Rheology
Carl D. Reynolds, David M. Hoyle, Richard L. Thompson +1
Medium or large amplitude oscillatory shear (M/LAOS) is sensitive to polymer chain structure, yet poses unsolved challenges for 'a priori' structural characterisation. In this lett…
Necking after extensional filament stretching of complex fluids and soft solids
David M. Hoyle, Suzanne M. Fielding
We perform linear stability analysis and nonlinear slender filament simulations of extensional necking in complex fluids and soft solids, during the stress relaxation process follo…
Criteria for extensional necking instability in complex fluids and soft solids. Part II imposed tensile stress and force protocols
David M. Hoyle, Suzanne M. Fielding
We study the necking of a filament of complex fluid or soft solid subject to uniaxial tensile stretching, under conditions of constant imposed stress and force, by means of linear…
Hydrolytic degradation of ROMP thermosetting materials catalysed by bio-derived acids and enzyme: from network to linear materials
S. Hou, D. M. Hoyle, E. Khosravi +4
This paper reports the first example of the degradable ROMP thermosetting materials catalysed by bio-derived acids and cutinase from Thermobifida cellulosilytica (Thc_Cut1). The RO…
