Effects of Polydispersity and Concentration on Elastocapillary Thinning of Dilute Polymer Solutions

The self-thinning of liquid bridges under the action of capillarity occurs in widespread processes like jetting, dripping, and spraying and gives rise to a strong extensional flow capable of stretching dissolved polymers. If the resulting elastic stress exceeds the viscous stress, an exponential “el...
