Rheological properties of normal aliphatic alcohols and their fluorinated analogs have been studied. The temperature dependences of the density and the kinematic viscosity of fluorinated and normal alcohols are shown to have the same character. The density growth for fluorinated alcohols is revealed, with the shear viscosity growing more pronouncedly, if more hydrogen atoms in the alcohol molecule are substituted by fluorine ones. The calculated thermodynamic properties of a viscous flow testify that fluorinated aliphatic alcohols are more structured in comparison with normal ones. K e y w o r d s: fluorinated aliphatic alcohols, shear viscosity, thermodynamic parameters, viscous flow.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
