Extensional relaxation time λ as a function of the polymer concentration c for aqueous solutions of PAA at T = 25 °C. The solid and hollow circles are the results obtained using the device developed in this work with liquid bridges surrounded by 0.65 cSt silicone oil and air, respectively. The solid and hollow triangles are the results measured with the CaBERTM 1 apparatus using the slow retraction method and the standard rapid stretching process, respectively. The line represents the fit to the data: λ [ms] =0.045(c [ppm])1.14
