“…This was due to the fact that the viscosity of the mixture depended mainly on the interaction of the molecular chains at low shear rates, which led to changes in molecular orientations and/or orientation in the direction of flow. When the catalyst content was increased (ESOISO 0.05 to 0.1 mol % Al(OTf) 3 ), the degree of cross-linking of the polyols was increased, which enhanced the interaction of the polymer chain. , This was observed by an increase in ETA* (complex viscosity) with values of 117.71, 563.64, and 1028.1 mPa/s –1 at 50 s –1 for the polyols ESOISO 0, 0.05, 0.07, and 0.1 mol % of the catalyst, respectively. In addition, as the shear rate increases, the physical entanglements of the molecular chain gradually open up, and the frictional resistance between the polymer chains decreases, so that the viscosity drops.…”
