Large-Amplitude Oscillatory Shear Flow of Polymeric Liquids

是研究物质流动和变形的学科。不是简单的物质，像水或空气，而是复杂的物质，像粘性的，胶粘的，有弹性的液体。这些流体是复杂的，因为它们的分子是长的和链状的。我的流变学研究都是关于将这些长链分子的运动和排列与液体弹性联系起来。我们将通过在最新的昂贵的、复杂的、计算机化的仪器（称为流变仪）中仔细摇动聚合物分子来揭示这些联系。在我的发现资助期间，以及之后的几年里，我的团队将探索弹性液体的分子结构与其在称为大振幅振荡剪切（LAOS）的抖动实验中的流变学之间的关系。

is the study of the flow and deformation of matter. Not of simple matter, like water or air, but complex matter, like sticky, gooey, elastic liquids. These fluids are complex because their molecules are long and chainlike. My rheological research is all about connecting the motions and alignments of these long chain molecules with liquid elasticity. We will uncover these connections by carefully jiggling the polymer molecules in the latest expensive, sophisticated, computerized instruments called rheometers. Over the period of my Discovery Grant, and for years beyond, my team will explore the relation between the molecular structure of elastic liquids, and their rheology in jiggling experiments called large-amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS).
