Rheology as a science of flow of matter is highly influenced by the topology and morphology of the investigated materials, e.g. polymer molecules. Within this publication three current developments will be presented. In the first part, the direct influence of molecular structure on the non-linear mechanical properties and the processing will be presented. In a second part, rheological methods, e.g. elongation rheology or nonlinear shear (especially FT-Rheology) are further developed. Finally the combination of rheological measurements with a second characterization method (NMR, X-ray, dielectric spectroscopy etc.) is described. These new combinations gain unique information about molecular dynamic and structure of time and shear dependant phenomena.
