This work is a complete and comprehensive study of the rheological properties of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) solutions. The study was carried out using the computer controlled RheoStress RS100 system of Haake. CMC concentration in the test solutions ranged by weight from 1 to 5%. This range was sufficiently wide to reveal the nearly Newtonian behavior at the lower end of concentrations, and the definitely pseudoplastic, thixotropic, and viscoelastic behaviors of CMC solutions at the higher end of concentrations. The scope of the study included measurements of steady-state parameters, transient shear stress response, and yield stress. In addition, the thixotropic, creep recovery, and dynamic responses of solutions with high concentrations were measured.
A comprehensive study of the rheological properties of aqueous polyacrylamide solutions was carried out. A RheoStress RS100 Haake rheometer was used in the measurements. The concentration of polyacrylamide ranged from 0.25 to 1.0% by weight. This range is sufficiently wide to cover many of the rheological features of polyacrylamide in the lower range of concentration. The study included measurements of steady shear flow parameters, transient shear stress response, yield stress, thixotropic behavior, creep recovery, dynamic responses, and temperature effects in the range 10-50ЊC.
Poly(dimethylsiloxane) solutions are widely used in
coating mixtures of many industrial coating
processes. The flow of these solutions in and around the coating
devices is strongly dependent
on their rheological properties. This work presents a
comprehensive experimental study of these
properties. The tests were carried out for two
poly(dimethylsiloxane), PDMS, solutions with
vastly different viscosities, 1000 and 30 000 mPa·s. The
measurements were taken on the
RheoStress RS100 rheometer of Haake, over the range of temperatures
10−50 °C. The solutions
were tested for steady shear values, thixotropic behavior, transient
shear stress response, yield
stress values, creep−recovery response, and dynamic
response.
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.
