## Abstract The deformation and breakup of a single polycarbonate drop in a polyethylene matrix is studied at high temperatures under simple shear flow using a transparent Couette device. We observed βparallel breakupβ where the drop breaks after being stretched into a thin sheet parallel to the fl

## Abstract The tumbling dynamics of flexible chains in shear flow, analysed by Brownian Dynamics simulations, are found to be ruled by three characteristic times __Ο__~tumb~, __Ο__~dif~ and __Ο__~lag~. The average tumbling time __Ο__~tumb~ scales with the shear rate with a robust exponent against
Abstraet--A continuum model describing the spinodal decomposition of polymer blends under externally applied shear has been developed. Numerical simulations were conducted for two-dimensional Couette flow. The morphology of the resulting polymer blend was established by competition between diffusion
