Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Rheology publishes research on the science of flow and deformation of matter. Articles investigate the rheological properties of complex fluids, including polymers, composites, suspensions, and gels, often focusing on their processing, behavior under stress, and microstructural evolution. The journal also explores rheological phenomena in granular materials and biological systems, with applications in areas such as materials science, engineering, and space exploration.
