Research topic:

Melt Flow Instabilities of Polymer and Rubber
Investigation of melt flow instabilities in shear flow of melts using capillary rheometer with a special homemade slit die including high sensitive pressure transducers.

Constitutive modeling and Simulation
Development of constitutive rheological models based on Tube theory. Main task is the prediction of rheological properties and melt flow instabilities as a correlation with polymer properties.
