Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Polymer
  • Thermodynamics
  • Viscosity

William W. Graessley mainly focuses on Thermodynamics, Polymer chemistry, Polymer, Intrinsic viscosity and Viscosity. His Thermodynamics study incorporates themes from Branching and Linear polymer. In his works, William W. Graessley undertakes multidisciplinary study on Polymer chemistry and Polyolefin.

His work carried out in the field of Polymer brings together such families of science as Polypropylene and Shearing. His Intrinsic viscosity research includes elements of Polybutadiene, Solvent, Viscoelasticity and Concentration effect. His Viscosity research focuses on Dynamic mechanical analysis and how it connects with Shear modulus.

His most cited work include:

  • Physical Properties of Polymers (309 citations)
  • Packing Length Influence in Linear Polymer Melts on the Entanglement, Critical, and Reptation Molecular Weights (261 citations)
  • Chain dimensions and entanglement spacings in dense macromolecular systems (223 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

William W. Graessley spends much of his time researching Polymer, Thermodynamics, Polymer chemistry, Viscoelasticity and Flory–Huggins solution theory. The study incorporates disciplines such as Polymer science and Internal pressure in addition to Polymer. The concepts of his Thermodynamics study are interwoven with issues in Intrinsic viscosity, Miscibility and Neutron scattering.

His Intrinsic viscosity research incorporates elements of Polybutadiene, Solvent and Concentration effect. His work on Dispersity as part of his general Polymer chemistry study is frequently connected to Polyolefin, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Flory–Huggins solution theory, concentrating on Small-angle neutron scattering and frequently concerns with Molecular physics, Radius of gyration and Mineralogy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Polymer (52.54%)
  • Thermodynamics (55.93%)
  • Polymer chemistry (42.37%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2009)?

  • Polymer (52.54%)
  • Polymer science (15.25%)
  • Glass transition (10.17%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Polymer, Polymer science, Glass transition, Viscoelasticity and Chemical physics. His Polymer research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Modulus and Natural rubber, Butyl rubber, Nitrile rubber. William W. Graessley has researched Polymer science in several fields, including Homeotropic alignment, Organic chemistry and Biaxial nematic.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Phase transition, Crystallization, Viscosity, Thermodynamics and Relaxation. Thermodynamics is often connected to Dynamic modulus in his work. His study in Viscoelasticity is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Shear flow, Stress field, Inertial frame of reference and Shear stress.

Between 2003 and 2009, his most popular works were:

  • Physical Properties of Polymers: The glass transition and the glassy state (32 citations)
  • On dynamic heterogeneity in supercooled liquids. (8 citations)
  • Physical Properties of Polymers: Viscoelasticity and flow in polymeric liquids (8 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Polymer
  • Thermodynamics
  • Viscosity

His scientific interests lie mostly in Glass transition, Relaxation, Viscosity, Thermodynamics and Viscoelasticity. His Glass transition study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Chemical physics and Compressibility. His Chemical physics study combines topics in areas such as Differential scanning calorimetry, Configuration entropy, Polymer chemistry and Tacticity.

His research links Supercooling with Compressibility. William W. Graessley regularly links together related areas like Polymer in his Viscoelasticity studies. His Die swell research covers fields of interest such as Rheometer, Polymer science and Dynamic modulus.
