Temperature dependent rheology of plasticized polymer suspensions filled with ceramic nanoparticles
Appl. Rheol. 28:4 (2018) 45489 (13 pages)

The temperature has a significant influence on the character of flow of polymer suspensions filled with BaTiO3 nanoparticles, changing its viscosity and rheology. The viscous flow of suspensions at lower temperature from 5 to 25˚C began at higher acti-
vation energy ΔEa1 and the systems were thixotropic, characterized with shear thickening at the initial stage of shearing after breaking of structural bonds between the polymer molecules. Herewith, increased shear stresses caused the enlargement of structural elements through additional flocculation by polymer bridging because of adsorption-desorption of EthCell molecule on BaTiO3 nanoparticles surface. At higher temperatures of 30 – 45 ˚C the viscous flow of suspensions began at the lower values of ΔEa2 indicating decreasing of leisure EthCell chains sufficient to form transient polymer network. Elevation of the temper-ature stipulated the predominant contribution of thermal Brownian motion to the character of flow. The mobility of macromolecules segments increased, BaTiO3 nanoparticles became to rotate, making impossible the additional structuring. Hence, the effective hydrodynamic radii of floccules remained constant. Moreover, being thixotropic at lower temperatures, the sus-pensions were characterized by the increasing of effective radii of floccules throughout the shear thickening region. In turn, rheopexic-thixotropic type of flow was characterized by the constant size of floccules along up-flow curves due to the dominant contribution of rotational Brownian motion. Thus, it is very important to control the temperature regime of processing method when exploitation of polymer suspensions.

Rheology of plasticized screen printing pastes based on BaTiO3 nanopowder
Appl. Rheol. 26:3 (2016) 33274 (9 pages)

This paper represents the rheology of screen printing pastes based on BaTiO3 nanopowder. It is found that the pastes are shear
thickened fluids with subsequent shear thinning under high shear rates. Different concentrations of plasticizer in organic
binder lead to various conformations of ethyl cellulose molecules that influence the type of adsorption between polymer molecules
and nanoparticles. The flow loop shows intervals of shear rate corresponding to rheopexy, pseudoplasticity and thixo -
tropy. The appearance of rheopexy indicates that the added amount of plasticizer may be insufficient to bind the majority of
free functional groups of the polymer and the remaining groups are bound with BaTiO3 nanoparticles forming a strong structural
network. But in the case of pseudoplastic structures, the polymer molecule exists in the conformation where almost all
free functional groups are bound with the nanoparticle surfaces. The pseudoplastic properties of the system are caused by
the structural polymer-polymer links. SEM and optical profilometry of the obtained films shows that plasticization lead to the
formation of thin (less than 1 μm) smooth (Ra is equal to the size of individual BaTiO3 nanoparticle) prints.
