Tunable Elasto‐Viscoplastic Properties of Polymer Blends for 3D Printing Applications This study explores the tunable elasto-viscoplastic properties of Carbopol-PEO blends for 3D printing. Using rheo-SAXS and dimensionless analysis, it identifies optimal printability regimes and revea...

New paper out 🎉

Post-extrusion behavior matters! We explore how Carbopol–PEO blends can be tuned to control die swelling and 3D printing. SAXS at @maxiv helped us link rheology to nanoscale structure.

The Future of Rheology Seminar Series invites abstract submissions to present in this prestigious virtual series which highlights research from students, postdocs, and professionals advancing rheology. Speakers have the opportunity to present at the 2026 Annual Meeting for a chance to win prizes!

Huge shoutout to the whole team and amazing collaborators at MAXIV, Kim Nygård and Ann Terry (@maxivlaboratory.bsky.social)!

In our Rheo-PLI-SAXS experiments (yes, that’s a mouthful, but trust us, it’s cool), we uncovered how hierarchical systems align under shear. Spoiler: biphasic suspensions of cellulose nanocrystals are drama queens - orienting at mesoscale way before nanoscale gets the memo. 🤷‍♀️
