Prepare 500 mL of a 2% solution of carboxymethylcellulose, sodium salt, in water in the manner described in the U.S. Pharmacopeia reference above. Since the solution preparation is time-consuming, your instructor may prepare it ahead of time. Using a rotational viscometer with an appropriate spindle and a constant temperature bath, measure the viscosity of this solution at various temperatures. Plot viscosity vs. temperature.

Other errors, which could influence the results obtained, are, for example, wall effects ( slipping ), the dissipation of heat, and the increase in temperature due to shear. In a tube, the viscosity of a flowing medium is less near the tube walls compared to the center. This is due to the occurrence of shear stress and wall friction and has to be minimized by the correct choice of the tube diameter. In most cases, an increase in tube diameter reduces the influence of wall slip on the flow rate measured, but for Newtonian materials of low viscosity, a large tube diameter could be the cause of turbulent flow. ° When investigating suspensions with tube viscometers, constrictions can lead to inhomogeneous particle distributions and blockage. Due to the influence of temperature on viscosity (see Section Influence Factors on the Viscosity ), heat dissipated must be removed instantaneously, and temperature increase due to shear must be prevented under all circumstances. This is mainly a constructional problem of rheometers. Technically, the problem is easier to control in tube rheometers than in rotating instruments, in particular, the concentric cylinder viscometers. ...

In acid solution, the polymer undergoes a helix-coil transition with an increase in transition temperature, rotational relaxation time, equivalent volume, and intrinsic viscosity as the molecule goes into the helical conformation (Table VI). At pH 3.3 the rotational relaxation time decreases,... 

At 2450 MHz, the field oscillates 4.9 x 10 times per second and sympathetic agitation of the molecules generates heat. The quantity of heat produced by dipole rotation is dictated by the dielectric relaxation time of the sample, which in turn, is affected by temperature and viscosity. Ionic conduction on the other hand, occurs by migration of dissolved ions with the oscillating electric field. Heat is generated by frictional losses that depend on the size, charge and conductivity of the ions and on their interactions with the solvent.

Data were obtained by thermal variations in the range 7-35" C. Xex = 300 nm. Xem = 330 nm. Protein concentration is equal to 10 pM. The rotational correlation time determined from the Perrin plot is equal to 13 ns at 20°C is in the same range as that (17 ns) expected for the protein at the same temperature, indicates the presence of residual motions. Also, the extrapolated anisotropy (0.264) is equal to that measured at -35 C (0.267). Source Albani, J. R. 1998, Spectrochimica Acta, Part A. 54, 173-183.

The decrease of the orientation rate with the decrease of temperature seems to be related to the increase of the viscosity of the LC melt. The absence of the initial homogeneous orientation of the polymeric liquid crystal in the electro-optical cell implies that the average viscosity of the LC polymer is the important factor, instead of the rotational viscosity.

The coefficient y is rotational viscosity of the director similar to coefficient yi for nematics. In fact, it does not include a factor of sin cp and, in the same temperature range, can be considerably larger than the viscosity ytp for the Gold-stone mode. This may be illustrated by Fig. 13.10 the temperature dependence of viscosities y and have been measured for a chiral mixture that shows the nematic, smectic A and smectic C phases [15]. The pyroelectric and electrooptic techniques were the most appropriate, respectively, for the measurements of ya and ytp describing the viscous relaxation of the amplitude and phase of the SmC order parameter. The result of measurements clearly shows that y is much larger than y and, in fact, corresponds to nematic viscosity yj. 

Consistency can only be attained by control of the bonding agent dilution and temperature. The viscosity of these materials varies with the ambient temperature and may be very cold and viscous when first delivered. Similarly in hotter countries it could be very hot and have low viscosity. In either case dilution in an uncontrolled way will resnlt in inevitable errors. Dilution and storage prior to use should therefore be made in covered vats that are jacketed and temperature controlled to the average ambient condition. The interior snrfaces of the vats should be constructed entirely of stainless steel, including the stirrers. Measurement of the viscosity can be checked with a rotational viscometer from a snitable sample mounted in a water bath. 

Viscosity, especially rotational viscosity (yi), plays a crucial role in the LCD response time. The response time of a nematic LC device is linearly proportional to yi [45]. The rotational viscosity of an aligned liquid crystal depends on the detailed molecular constituents, structure, intermolecular association, and temperature. As the temperamre increases, viscosity decreases rapidly. Several theories, rigorous or semi-empitical, have been developed in an attempt to account for the origin of the LC viscosity [46,47]. However, owing to the complicated anisotropic attractive and steric repulsive interactions among LC molecules, these theoretical results are not completely satisfactory [48,49]. 

A general temperature-dependent rotational viscosity can be expressed as...
