Abstract
Rheology is the science of the deformation and flow responses of viscoelastic materials resulting from stimulation, mainly by inducing mechanical stress. The stimulus-response relationship or response function is a characteristic of materials, and thus rheology provides general theoretical and experimental approaches that can be applied to the study of an object. This enables us to understand the macroscopic elasticity, viscosity, and viscoelasticity of materials on a molecular basis.
