A complete understanding on how the LNR function in compatibilising the NR-plastic phase is difficult. However for simplicity it can be rationalised in term of inducing interaction between the phases. As reported by Gelling and Mente, the role of LNR in influencing the physical properties of the vulcanizate depends on the chain length of polyisoprene. At molecular weights around 6000 LNR acts as bulk viscosity modifiers and this role decreases... 

Displacement injection is usually the preferred method because analyte ions are present in the sample zone in proportion to their concentration in the bulk sample. In addition, injection efficiency is less sensitive to variations in sample ionic strength. However, it should be noted that the presence of high salt can affect detector response and variations in the sample viscosity due to temperature, or the presence of viscosity-modifying components can affect displacement injection efficiency. 

Water soluble polymers are frequently incorporated in aqueous surfactant solutions in many domestic and technological applications (in formulations such as shower gels and hair shampoos), as viscosity modifiers, stabilisers and deposition aids. Water soluble polymers often interact strongly with surfactants in aqueous solution, giving rise to a rich pattern of behaviour in properties such as surface tension. The bulk properties of a variety of polymer/... 

The bulk viscosity of polymer solution is an important parameter also when polymers are being used as suspending agents to maintain solid particles in suspension by prevention of settling (see Chapter 7) and when they are used to modify the properties of liquid medicines for oral and topical use. 

The HX rates are also dependent on temperature. An increase in temperature affects HX rates primarily hy altering the water ionization constant, K, and thus increasing the concentration of OH . Further, some evidence suggests that temperature may also affect the collisional rate constant, k, in Equation 1.2 hy altering buffer viscosity and thus the diffusional collisional rate constant [24, 25]. A more recent study, however, has indicated that the effect of bulk viscosity on HX is negligible [30]. Theoretical HX rates can be determined as a function of temperature by a modified form of the Arrhenius equation (Eq. 1.4) and reference HX rate constants determined experimentally at 20°C ... 

Abnormahty in the stractuie and dynamics of water inside the sub-2 nm CNTs are often reported. To interpret the fast water movement, there is no physical basis to apply the Poiseuille flow equation which uses the bulk viscosity in solving the equation. One way of modifying the Poiseuille flow model is to incorporate the slip length the ratio of the translational velocity at the wall, v, to the characteristic... 

Hyperbranched polymers have unique properties in solution, melt and bulk due to their branched and relatively compact structure in comparison with Unear counterparts. Therefore, they have received much attention in the last few decades due to some potential applications in biomedicines, energy storages and polymer blends, to name but a few [1-5]. The highly branched and dense but irregular structure can also leads to excellent solubility, compared to Unear polymers, low solution viscosity, modified melt rheology, and high level of terminal end group functionality [6]. 

The equations presented herein do not include any viscosity correction to reflect the difference between the viscosity at the wall temperature and the bulk fluid temperature. This effect is generally negligible, except at low temperatures for organic fluids having viscosities that are strongly temperature dependent. For such conditions, the values tabulated in Table 2 should be appropriately modified. 

Dall Acqua et al.45 reported the development of conductive fibres made by cellulose-based fibres embedded with polypyrrole. Several efforts with cotton, viscose, cupro and lyonell have followed. The conductivity is directly related to the amount of polypyrrole, oxidant ratio and fibre structure with significant differences between viscose and lyonell. Polymerisation occurs uniformly inside the fibre bulk, by producing a coherent composite polypyrrole/cellulose. The mechanical and physical properties of cellulose fibres were not significantly modified as they are the best available45.
