Polymer Rheology

The study of flow of matter is understood as rheology essentially in an exceedingly liquid state, however conjointly responds for  "soft solids" or solids like plastic flow instead of deforming elastically in response to applied force. it's a department of physics that deals with the deformation and flow of materials, each solids and liquids. rheology typically accounts for the behavior of non-Newtonian fluids, by distinguish the minimum variety of functions that are required to relate stresses with rate of amendment of strain or strain rates. Rheometry is experimental characterization of a material's rheological behavior .In execution, rheology is primarily involved with prolong time mechanics to characterize flow of materials, that indicates a mixture of elastic, viscous and plastic behavior by properly combining physical property and (Newtonian) mechanics. rheology has several application in polymer science and engineering, medicine, biology and physiology.
