In order to achieve a better understanding of polymer blending processes some experimental work has been carried out on the deformation and break‐up behavior of liquid droplets in simple shearing matrices. For Newtonian systems good agreement was obtained with existing theories. For non‐Newtonian systems trends were established regarding the influence of fluid elasticity on droplet deformation and break‐up.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
