Extensional flow of ellipsoids

Stress-strain rate curves for extensional flow of glass fibers suspended in polybutene 0.1 to 1%, rp m 282, S86, and 1259). Adapted from Mewis and Metzner (1974). 

In Section lO.S we considered systems in which colloidal forces, with the exception of Brownian motion, did not play a role. Dispersion forces are always present in real materials a repulsion force
