PREFACE: NOVEL TRENDS IN RHEOLOGY VII

摘要

The Novel Trends in Rheology VII is an international conference organized by the Polymer Centre, Faculty of Technology, Tomas Bata University in Zlin in cooperation with the Applied Rheology Division, the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) and the Czech Group of Rheology, which belongs to the Czech Chemical Society. The meeting captures recent development in areas of constitutive equations for polymer melts, non-Newtonian fluid mechanics and stability, novel rheological techniques, rheology of polymers/composites/blends/gels and complex fluids, and applied rheology for polymeric nanofibers. I am pleased to have such a wide range of rheology issues presented in this volume.
