Streamlines of unstable polymer solution flow within a pore. First demonstration that polymer solutions can drive chaotic flow instabilities at low Reynolds numbers within 3D porous media. Field of view , playback 3x real time. Science Advances.

Polymer additives drive chaotic mixing of a passive solute (pink and yellow), decreasing the mixing time and improving dispersion. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Polymer additives drive chaotic transport of reactive solutes (pink and grey), increasing the conversion into products (cyan). First demonstration that elastic instabilities can enhance reaction kinetics. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
