P03. Polymer melts, solutions, copolymers, blends, rubbers, composites
This session focuses on the recent developments in polymer rheology, covering melts, solutions, copolymers, blends, rubbers, and composites. We invite both experimental and theoretical contributions on topics including the fundamentals of polymer dynamics, linear and nonlinear viscoelasticity, structure-property relationships, phase behavior, as well as strategies for designing polymer materials with tailored performance. Contributions on emerging areas such as sustainable polymers, reprocessable rubbers, high-performance composites, and the role of interfacial dynamics in complex materials are also highly encouraged.
