Chemo rheology

TABLE 2 Parameters of the thermo-chemo-rheological model... 

The transient heat transfer phenomena induce peculiar property changes at each body point. In this respect, the temperature profiles and the chemo-rheological fimctions (viscosity, degree of cure/crystallinity) need to be included within the energy balance equation ... 

Chemo-rheology.— The presence of the partially uncoiled molecular chains in the flowing melts referred to above ensiu s that the viscoelastic behaviour will be complex. Boger and Nguyen display excellent photographs of a viscoelastic flow pattern upstream of the convergent die. Their experiments are based...

A rheological intricate peculiarity marks polymer gels behaviour as chemo-mechanical systems, namely even if it are easily deformed due to the high internal friction, in their bulk, under the action of hydrostatic pressure these ones are incompressible.
