Unusual time dependent rheological behavior of a concentrated suspension
Appl. Rheol. 27:6 (2017) 64182 (7 pages)
►
The time dependent rheological behavior of a concentrated CaCO3 particle suspension is studied. The particles are suspended
in a mixture of three industrial products: two resins, composed of styrene monomer, a styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer,
and an unsaturated polyester oligomer, and one surfactant, acting as a dispersing agent for the particles. For the measurements,
a MCR 301 rheometer from Anton Paar is used in the rotational mode, with a Couette geometry. An unusual behavior
is observed, in which the low shear-rate viscosity of the suspension depends in a non-monotonous way on the shear rate
applied during a previous shear history. The viscosity of the suspension at low shear rate depends both on the value of the
prior shear rate, and the time during which it is applied. We found that the phenomenon is more pronounced when the particles
volume fraction is increased. We propose an interpretation of the observed phenomenon in which links of different strengths
can be formed between the particles and only the weakest links are destroyed by moderate shear rates.

Rheology of reactive polymer blends: separation of mixing and reaction steps
Appl. Rheol. 11:3 (2001) 141-152
►
The crosslinking reaction in various types of polymer blends was followed by rheological measurements. Miscible polymers with controlled glass transition temperature, chain length and number of functional units per chain were synthesized by bulk radical copolymerization. Other experiments were carried out on immiscible systems based on commercial polymers. Blends were either prepared in a batch mixer or directly in the parallel-plate geometry of a rotational rheometer. Due to the low glass transition or melting temperature of most blend components, it was usually possible to separate the mixing step which was carried out at low temperature from the crosslinking reaction which was followed by small amplitude dynamic measurements at higher temperatures. The influence of several parameters on the reaction was studied, in particular : the reaction temperature, the amount of shear during the mixing step (or mixing time), the number of functional units per chain in each blend component and the blend composition. For the miscible blends, a master curve for the dependence of the elastic modulus G as a function of reaction time could be drawn for different functionalities and blend compositions.
