    I was born on 18th of December, 1980 in Isfahan. In 1988, I entered school and after 24 years of continuous studies I defended my Ph.D. dissertation in beginning of autumn. My generation grow up in a very competitive educational system due to the past governing situation of our country. Im the son of Iran in which I was raised. I received all my three B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Department of Polymer Engineering, Amirkabir university of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic). I was fortunate that I chose polymer engineering as my major since these modern materials called macromolecules actually have been utilized by mother nature from the first day of creation with more or less similar structures! I think rheology is the field that distinguishes a polymer engineer from alumni of other majors and because of that I directed my Ph.D. project toward this interesting science subject in which I have had some contributions. I have chosen my research interests based on my personal preferences and my past experiences during my education in the university and schools and my efforts are focused on localizing the associated science and technologies while being a contributor in international community. To realize this objective, innovation is very crucial and, and working with young and motivated students can be instrumental in introduction of creativity and novelty. Im interested in Persian poems and believe Nastaliq as a calligraphic art is pride of Persian arts. I enjoy these two activities during my happy and sad times although nowadays I have less time for those, specially the second one. Please dont forget this, rheologists believe that everything flows and, in Physics, movement is absolute and immobility is relative. Thus, if one wants to survive shehe should move and it requires knowledge and knowledge is infinite.

    A new closure approximation based on the Cohen/Pad? spring law and a novel method for its implementation

    Abbas Sheikh
    Journal PaperRheologica Acta , Volume 56 , Issue 2, 2017 February 1, {Pages 135-148 }

    Abstract

    A new closure-approximated model based on the Cohen/Pad? (CP) spring law is presented. Because it is inspired by the finitely extensible non-linear elastic Peterlin version (FENE-P), the model is titled CP-P. The rheological behaviors in simple and pressure-driven pipe shear flows in both the steady-state and time-dependent conditions are compared between the two models. To this end, a new approach based on the second moment Fokker–Planck equation instead of the Langevin equation is developed, which was confirmed by means of the existing analytical and stochastic data prior to its use. Application of this new approach is restricted to the closure approximated models but at a much less computational expense than the CONNFFES

    Peroxide dynamic crosslinking in impact modification of polypropylene with polybutadiene

    Atefe Saffari, Abbas Sheikh
    Journal PaperPolymer Testing , Volume 57 , 2017 February 1, {Pages 260-269 }

    Abstract

    Polypropylene was blended with polybutadiene in an internal mixer in order to improve its toughness. The rubber content ranged from 10 to 20 wt.% and dicumyl peroxide (DCP) was added to provide required radicals for dynamic crosslinking of polybutadiene, and for in-situ compatibilization of the phases. This was done using two sequences of mixing. In addition, zinc dimethacrylate was utilized as a co-agent to control chain scission of PP, enhance the interfacial reactions and increase compatibility of the components. In obtaining the optimum blend, the Taguchi orthogonal experimental design was applied and results of Izod impact strength test were concordantly related to crystallinity of the polypropylene, morphology of the blends and reacti

    Parametric study of FENE and FENE-P models in steady and unsteady flow in a circular pipe using CONNFFESSIT approach

    Abbas Sheikh, Farhad Sharif
    Journal PaperJournal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics , Volume 166 , Issue 17-18, 2011 September 18, {Pages 1012-1023 }

    Abstract

    The temporal rheological behavior of FENE and FENE-P models is investigated using the flow in a circular, straight tube. The CONNFFESSIT approach is applied to simulate transient Hagen–Poiseuille flow for different pressure drops and model parameters. The material functions for steady and unsteady flow were extracted and compared with the reported values in the literature when it was available. For the case of the FENE model, where there is no analytical solution, the relationship between model parameters and rheological behavior has been discussed and compared with the FENE-P model.

    Study on microstructure, rheological, and mechanical properties of cellulose short fiber reinforced TPVs based on EPDM/PP

    F Goharpey, A Mirzadeh, A Sheikh, H Nazockdast, AA Katbab
    Journal PaperPolymer Composites , Volume 30 , Issue 2, 2009 February , {Pages 182-187 }

    Abstract

    The morphology, rheology, and mechanical properties of the dynamically vulcanized thermoplastic elastomer based on EPDM/PP (60/40, w:w) containing 5, 10, and 20% of cellulose short fiber were studied. From the results it was found that addition of 5% of cellulose fiber has no significant effect on the maximum torque associated with the dynamic vulcanization stage, while higher concentration of fibers decreased the maximum torque. These results were explained in terms of influence of cellulose fibers on the extent of agglomeration formed between the cured rubber particles. The results of tensile test performed on the samples showed that incorporation of 5% of cellulose fibers into the sample has an increasing effect on elongation at break

    Effects of Gelatin and Nano‐ZnO on the Performance and Properties of Cellulose Acetate Water Membranes

    Journal PaperChemical Engineering & Technology , 1 January , {Pages }

    Abstract

    Biodegradable cellulose acetate (CA) membranes were prepared via phase inversion induced by immersion precipitation method. Acetic acid and deionized water were used as a solvent and a non‐solvent, respectively. The modifying effect of gelatin and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles additives was investigated on the membranes in terms of water flux, protein rejection percentage, and fouling ability during 2 hours of bovine serum albumin separation from aqueous solution. Additionally, specimens were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), tensile test, contact angle technique, and porosity measurement. The incorporation of gelatin and ZnO nanoparticles into the cellulose acetate
