AERC 2014 9th Annual European Rheology Conference April 8 – 11, 2014 Karlsruhe, Germany organized by German Rheological Society Welcome to the AERC in Karlsruhe! Dear fellow rheologists, As engineers, scientists, educators and researchers not only from Europe, but all over the world, we converge these days to share our ideas and advance our knowledge in rheology. Our subject is central to many technological pursuits in the areas of chemical engineering, biological systems and life science engineering. Fundamental aspects of polymer chemistry and soft matter physics are also prominent in rheological research. With the AERC 2014, we have made an effort to gather a wide range of advanced research in all areas of rheological matters. This is the 9th AERC and meanwhile this European rheology meeting is well established in the international conference landscape. This year, 441 abstracts have been submitted, comprising 327 contributions from European colleagues and 114 abstracts submitted by fellows from 22 countries overseas. We have selected 250 oral contributions in six parallel sessions with no keynote lectures in order to give as many of our colleagues, especially the younger ones at the early stage of their careers, a chance to present their results and ideas. Beyond that, almost 200 posters will be on display for the duration of the conference. Furthermore, twelve companies will show their latest developments in rheological equipment and measuring techniques with experts at each table waiting for your questions and feedback. Lots of work has been necessary to put all this together and on behalf of the organizing committee we would like to thank everyone who contributed to the AERC 2014 Karlsruhe. First of all, we have to thank the ESR for providing this European conference platform. We also would like to acknowledge all the sponsors and exhibitors for their generous financial support. Thanks also to the session chairs and the members of the scientific organizing committee for developing an ambitious scientific program. Last, but not least, we would like to express our deep gratitude to the members of our research groups and the local organizing committee including the DRG office in Berlin who did all the background work to make this event happen. In the end, it is you who will make the conference a success. So give and enjoy superb talks, posters and exhibitions - and do not forget to take some time to explore the hidden beauties of Karlsruhe! Norbert Willenbacher and Manfred Wilhelm - Chairmen Annual European Rheology Conference 2014 - Into the Future – in Karlsruhe Business and hi-tech centre Karlsruhe is well known as the city of researchers: Carl Benz, inventor of the automobile, was born here; while physicist Heinrich Hertz discovered electromagnetic waves at the city’s university. Today, one of the most prominent think tanks is Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), a merger of Karlsruhe Research Centre and Karlsruhe University. And that is just one of the reasons why the city is at the heart of the Karlsruhe Technology Region, one of the most dynamic and successful economic regions in Europe. Over 2,500 companies are active in the IT and media sector alone. Home to art and culture Visitors to Karlsruhe will not be disappointed by its cultural attractions. The city is home to a number of excellent museums. In addition to the Baden State Museum (Badisches Landesmuseum), located in the Karlsruhe palace, there is the State Art Gallery (Staatliche Kunsthalle), Municipal Gallery (Städtische Galerie) and Natural History Museum (Naturkundemuseum). Karlsruhe’s ZKM | Centre for Art and Media – Germany’s answer to France’s Pompidou Centre – offers a unique cultural experience. As the world’s first interactive museum, it invites visitors to join in and be amazed. Every year, the international art scene comes together for the art KARLSRUHE art fair. A green city with savoir-vivre Karlsruhe combines urban flair with attractive parks and natural landscapes. Shoppers flock to the busy shopping streets and the largest indoor shopping centre in southern Germany. Just a few minutes away, green oases such as the municipal gardens (Stadtgarten) and the riverbanks along the Rhine are ideal for enjoying a walk or a quiet break. Lovers of good food will find plenty to tempt the palate in Karlsruhe. Renowned for their outstanding quality, restaurants specialising in the traditional cuisine of Baden offer dishes prepared with locally grown ingredients. The pyramide on the market place is a popular meeting place in Karlruhe right in the city center. Photo by Stadt Karlsruhe KIT – Unique in German Research Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is the merger of ForͲ schungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH and Universität Karlsruhe (TH). This merger on October 01, 2009, resulted in one of the largest science institutions in Europe. KIT bundles the missions of both precursory institutions: A state university with teaching and research tasks and a largeͲscale research center conducting programͲoriented provident research. Within these missions, KIT is operating along the three strategic fields of action of research, teaching, and innovation. Research Research at KIT is organized in seven centers. These centers give KIT research its profile and allow for its strategic planning. The following KIT centers have been established: o Energy o Materials,Structures,Functions o ElementaryParticleandAstroparticle Physics o ClimateandEnvironment o MobilitySystems o Information,Systems,Technologies o HumansandTechnology Teaching Education and the promotion of young scientists are in the focus of KIT. During their studies the students are already familiarized with real research projects. The number of scientists and engineers available for teaching exceeds the average. KIT’s doctoral students are integrated in an attractive environment with small working groups and access to large devices. This gives the opportunity to conduct independent research in internationally competitive teams. Offers to students are complemented by nonͲspecific advanced training in general and careerͲrelevant key qualifications. Teaching at KIT is organized in 11 departments: Architecture, Civil Engineering, GeoͲ and Environmental Sciences, Chemistry and Biosciences, Chemical and Process Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Humanities and Social Sciences, Informatics, Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Economics and Management. Innovation KIT has taken responsibility for designing the cooperation of science and industry such that research results are transferred optimally to the market. KIT has specialized in the commercialization of inventions and knowͲhow regarding new products, processes, or services. Innovation management extends from the counseling of inventors and patent applications to technology marketing, project initiation, to licensing and the support of spinoffs.
