Shear polymers

The alternative large scale recovery method to precipitation is ultrafiltration. For concentration of viscous exopolysaccharides, ultrafiltration is only effective for pseudoplastic polymers (shearing reduces effective viscosity see section 7.7). Thus, pseudoplastic xanthan gum can be concentrated to a viscosity of around 30,000 centipoise by ultrafiltration, whereas other polysaccharides which are less pseudoplastic, are concentrated only to a fraction of this viscosity and have proportionally lower flux rates. Xanthan gum is routinely concentrated 5 to 10-fold by ultrafiltration. 

The aim of the present paper is to report on the solution structure of polymers, to show how structure-property relationships can be derived in a simple manner, so that they can be used for technical applications. Some predictions will also be made concerning the viscous and elasticity yield as well as polymer shear stability. To demonstrate these theoretical predictions narrowly distributed polystyrene samples will mainly be used as examples. 

Experimentally it is difficult to detect the occurrence of polymer shear degradation since concentration effects, increased peak dispersion, and ultrafiltration of high molecular weight components may also distort the peak profile or shift the distribution towards the low molecular weight region. Furthermore,... 

Several studies were conducted on the stress overshoot and/or decay at a constant shear rate. Kokini and Dickie (1981) obtained stress growth and decay data on mayonnaise and other foods at 0.1, 1.0, lO.Oand 100 s . As expected from studies on polymers, shear stresses for mayonnaise and other food materials displayed increasing degrees of overshoot with increasing shear rates. The Bird-Leider empirical equation was used to model the transient shear stresses.

In homogeneous polymers shear deformation consists of a distortion of the body shape without significant volume variation. In semicrystalline materials shear yielding is very localized and occurs by shp on particular planes of maximum shear stress. In non-crystalline materials the shear yielding is much more diffuse than in the previous case, requiring large co-operative chain movements. 

In a cross-linked polymer, shear creep followed by creep recovery is essentially as shown schematically in Fig. 1-11. If the stress oq has been applied for a time f 2 long enough for the strain to reach within experimental error its equilibrium value 7(00) = (ToJg, then in accordance with equation 37 the course of creep recovery will be given by...
