Extensional viscosity




Extensional viscosity is a viscosity coefficient when applied stress is extensional stress. [1].

This parameter is often used for characterizing polymer solutions.

Extensional viscosity can be measured using rheometers that apply extensional stress. Acoustic rheometer is one example of such devices.
