Session: Polymer Mechanics, Processing, and Rheology I: Extrusion and Fibers

This session welcomes papers covering all experimental and theoretical aspects of polymer processing and viscoelasticity. Contributions aimed at understanding polymer rheological and mechanical properties as they relate to structure and dynamics are encouraged. Additionally, papers focused on developing or optimizing processing technologies, such as extrusion, electrospinning, fiber spinning, and 3D printing, are highly relevant. Studies that bridge fundamental science with practical applications in polymer processing are of significant interest. Both academic and industrial submissions are welcomed.***Note to faculty candidates: please include a note to the session chair during submission to alert them to your status***
