A Brownian dynamics computer simulation study of a highly coarse-grained model of telechelic associating polymers has been carried out. In a critical concentration range the model produces the so-called 'loops-to-bridges' transition, thought to exist...

Composite four-component Ni–W–P–ZrO2 coatings were electrolessly deposited from a bath with different concentrations of aminoacetic acid (glycine—the complexing agent), sodium tungstate(VI) and zirconium(IV) oxide at different pH values. Concentratio... Read More about The effect of suspension bath composition on the composition, topography and structure of electrolessly deposited composite four-component Ni–W–P–ZrO2 coatings.

The influence of the extensional viscosity of very low concentrations of high molecular mass water-soluble polymers on atomisation and droplet impact (2008)
Journal Article
Williams, P. A., English, R. J., Blanchard, R. L., Rose, S. A., Lyons, L., & Whitehead, M. (2008). The influence of the extensional viscosity of very low concentrations of high molecular mass water-soluble polymers on atomisation and droplet impact. Pest management science, 64(5), 497-504. https://doi.org/10.1002/ps.1523

BACKGROUND: Water-soluble polymers are increasingly added to herbicide and pesticide formulations at very low concentrations (100–1000 mg L−1) in order to control the spray characteristics, notably to reduce spray drift and influence droplet bounce....
