Rheology molecular component

N = 0 value. This is an unfortunate drawback of the experimental technique the estimate for the Nq is essential for an understanding of the mechanisms of the influence of surfactants and polymers on the friction between fibers and on the pulp rheology. This estimate can be obtained from direct measurements of cohesive forces in contacts between crossed fibers. The molecular component of the cohesion, p, in the contact between two fibers can be obtained as the force necessary to rupture the fiber-fiber contact. The shear friction force can then be determined as the product of the previously determined friction coefficient, p, and the normal force Nq. In the absence of an external load, the value of Nq is solely the result of the molecular attraction forces, that is, F = iNq = pp. 

In order to be suitable for the synthesis of ceramics, the precursors should have a high molecular weight in order to avoid volatilization of low molecular components, appropriate rheological properties and solubility for the shaping process as well as latent reactivity (presence of functional groups) for the curing and cross-linking step. 

Processing oil is a well-known additive for rubbers and is commonly employed in PP/EPDM TPVs [10-12]. It lowers the hardness and improves the processability. The oil, in most cases paraffinic oil, can be considered as a low molecular weight olefin. The difference in polarity between the three components is small, and the oil is present in both the PP and in the elastomer phases [67]. In order to understand the mechanical and the rheological properties of olefinic thermoplastic elastomers (OTPEs), the concentration of oil in each phase must be known.

A very recent move to apply the structures emerging from molecular rheology to non-linear models of polydisperse complex-architecture melts has met with considerable success. The simple insight that the stress is a composite, not a structural, variable, with orientational and scalar components of different relaxation times, vastly improves the ability to model LDPE melts quantitatively. It also explains how such melts may be shear thinning yet extension-hardening.
