Extensional rheometry of cellulose ether solutions: flow instability (2015)
Journal Article
Vadodaria, S. S., & English, R. J. (2015). Extensional rheometry of cellulose ether solutions: flow instability. Cellulose, 23(1), 339-355. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10570-015-0838-1

Capillary breakup extensional rheometry of semi-dilute hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) solutions was performed under several step-stretch conditions. The resulting parameters, i.e. terminal steady state extensional viscosity (gE) and the timescale f... Read More about Extensional rheometry of cellulose ether solutions: flow instability.

Second virial coefficient of rod-shaped molecules and molecular dynamics simulations of the isotropic phase (2015)
Journal Article
Heyes, D. M., Turner, P., English, R. J., Williams, R., & Brańka, A. C. (2015). Second virial coefficient of rod-shaped molecules and molecular dynamics simulations of the isotropic phase. Physical Review E, 91(4), 042134-042144. https://doi.org/10.1103/

The second virial coefficient, B 2 is computed of linear rigid rods composed of m equally spaced sites interacting with sites on other rods via the hard-sphere or Weeks-Chandler-Andersen (WCA) pair potentials. The dependence of B 2 on a wide ran... Read More about Second virial coefficient of rod-shaped molecules and molecular dynamics simulations of the isotropic phase.
