‘Gobbling drops’: the jetting–dripping transition in flows of polymer solutions by Clasen, C., Bico, J., Entov, V. M., McKinley, Gareth H

“…This thinning process of the ligaments that are subjected to a constant axial force is driven by surface tension and resisted by the viscoelasticity of the dissolved polymeric molecules. Analysis of this transition provides a new experimental method to probe the rheological properties of solutions when minute concentrations of macromolecules have been added.…”
