A Fractional-Order Model of Biopolyester Containing Naturally Occurring Compounds for Soil Stabilization by Nadka Tzankova Dintcheva, Marilena Baiamonte, Rosalia Teresi, Gioacchino Alotta, Emanuela Bologna, Massimiliano Zingales

“…As known, the use of sophisticated analytical tools to describe the material rheology and melting properties is nowadays very popular among physicists and material scientists. Certainly, several experimental tests conducted on polymeric- and biopolymeric-based materials, such as rubbers, foams, and hydro/aero gels, show that the relaxation time spectra are a continuous function, and as a consequence, multiple relaxation times are involved in the rheological description of the materials, yielding the need for nonconventional relaxation functions. …”
