Werner-Michael Kulicke

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that it is only correlation of molecular parameters with the rheological material functions that allows structure-property relationships to be established, which then make it possible to describe the flow behaviour of cellulose derivative solutions in detail.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the concentration dependence of the characteristic relaxation time of dilute polymer solutions in transient uniaxial elongational flow and proposed a criterion for a lower sensitivity limit, in the form of a minimum concentration cmin necessary for experimental resolution of the effects of polymeric viscoelasticity.

TL;DR: In this paper, a survey on structure and properties of polyacrylamide homopolymers (PAAm) in solution is given, where a molecular characterization of the polymers has been achieved as a basis to correlate this fundamental information with applicational properties.

TL;DR: All glucans investigated, regardless of molar mass and solution structure, stimulate the investigated immunological measures more than a commercially available biomedical drug used for comparison.

TL;DR: In this paper, the gelation rate of concentrated barley (1→3)(1→4)-β-glucan solutions was investigated via oscillatory time experiments, and it was deduced that sections of consecutive cellotriose units constituted the cross-links.
