SYNOPSISPolyurethane polyols were synthesized by reacting the diols with polyisocyanates. Viscosity of their 50% (w/w) solutions in various solvents has been determined at different temperatures by using Haake RotoVisco RV12 Rotational Viscometer. The temperature dependence of viscosity data was solved by Levenberg Marquardt's algorithm by using nonlinear regression models based on WLF, Vogel, and Arrhenius equations. The T, values obtained from WLF and Vogel equation are comparable to each other and these equations can be satisfactorily used for the analysis of temperature dependence of viscosity data of oligomer solutions. The residuals are random and the absolute average percentage error in analyzing the viscosity data by these equations is minimum. The values of constants in WLF equation are found to be system dependent and adjustable parameters. The predicted In 7 values obtained from WLF and Vogel equations fit well with the plots of experimental In 7 values as a function of temperature.
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.
