Band formation on shearing in phase-separated polymer solutions

In a phase-separated mixture of two Newtonian polymer solutions sheared in a cone-plate geometry adapted for microscopic observation at a zero-velocity plane, shear-induced coalescence of droplets of the broken-up phase, followed by band formation, was observed. Initially wormlike structures develop...
