viscoelastic retardation

    0.01 sec.
viscoelastic retardation
a low shear viscometric method for the determination of the molecular weight of large (>1010) DNA molecules based on mildly stretching long DNA molecules by hydrodynamic shear forces and then removing the force so that the molecule relaxes back to its normal conformation; the relaxation time is related to, and can be used to determine with accuracy, the molecular weight of DNA molecules of the size found in eukaryotic chromosomes.

g]: For creep compliance response changes upon aging, however, there is no apparent change in the characteristic viscoelastic retardation time.
Moreover, it suggests a new fact about molecular orientation: circulating flow in the melt front region and viscoelastic retardation give a V-shaped distribution of principal stress difference even in isothermal simulations, which may explain the second "V" in experimentally observed double V-shaped birefringence patterns near the melt front.
