Objective
The objective of this proposal is to create a transnational network involving four EC, one Russian and one Romanian groups in order to make what we consider to be a major advance in POLYMER RHEOLOGY and POLYMER PROCESSING.
The idea of this network originates from the conjunction of two recent scientific discoveries, the availability of extremely high molecular weight polymers and a new treatment of the Doi-Edwards rheological theory. The first scientific aim of this network is to extend this theory into the shear rate range relevant to polymer processing.
The second aim is to check it by using the molten polymer-high shear rates Extremely high molecular weight polymer solution-low shear rates correspondence.
The results will then be used to have a constitutive rheological equation able to better take into account the flow at very high shear rates for flexible polymers, i.e. in the range relevant to polymer processing. This will be a major achievement for devising computer-aided polymer processing software using molecular theories.
All six groups have complementary expertises and all six are necessary in order to fulfil the objectives.
Due to the origins of the six countries, this network is composed of two sub-networks, having exactly the same partners, work programme and coordinator.
The first network covers the expenses of the four EC countries only and will start mid- 1994 (Human Capital and Mobility network nø ERB4050PL932224). Its work programme includes explicitely the two other partners from Russia and Romania since they are absolutely necessary to run the project. The second network is the present one and will cover the expenses of the Russian and Romanian partners.
