(IUCr) Flow-induced shish-kebab structure

Figure 1
Selected rheo-SAXS patterns of (a) pure LMWPE, (b) 2/98 (UHMEPE/LMWPE) blend and (c) 5/95 blend, collected at 35 s after step shear at 415 K; shear rate $[\dot \gamma = 100\,\,{\rm{ s}}^{ - 1}]$ and shear duration $[\gamma _{\rm{s}} = 5\,{\rm{ s}}]$ . The flow axis is vertical.
