Rheology of Branched Polymers and Polymer Blends in Melts

Ulrich Handge

Institute of Polymers, ETH Zurich

In this talk, the rheological behaviour of branched polymers and polymer blends is discussed. In the first part, models for branched polymers are presented. The second part of the talk is devoted to droplet deformation in polymer blends under uniaxial elongational flow.
