Rheology viscosity

Grafting and Stabilizers. The degree of grafting of poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc.) on poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and other stabilizers during emulsion polymerization strongly affects latex properties such as viscosity, rheology, and polymer solubility. 

The properties of coal slurries that are of most interest are 1) the viscosity/rheology, which controls the ease of pumping and atomization 2) the stability against settling, which controls the ability of the slurry...

Section II conlains a review of the basic concepts of viscosity, rheology, rheological behavior, and well-known and proven evaluation techniques. The discussion will be focused exclusively on shear flow, excluding elongationai flow and nonlinear viscoelasticity which, despite their importance, are not often used in product formulation and for this reason will not be discussed. In fact, elunga-tional effects are more often negligible in suspensions and emulsions.

Many polyvinyl acetate emulsions can be used as adhesives without modification. However, an adhesive is usually compounded in order to tailor the product for a particular application. Compounding of adhesives facilitates application on equipment and bonding on specific substrates. It also imparts resistance to ambient conditions. In addition to film formers, an adhesive usually contains some of the following components plasticizers, viscosity/rheology modifiers, tackifiers/extenders, solvents, fillers, humectants, surfactants, and biocides. 

Adhesives are most commonly applied by machine. Each type of machine has its own viscosity/rheology requirements. Most roll...

The factors which influence the success or failure of a motionless mixer are material viscosity (rheology), ratio, flow rate, and compatibility of the materials. If resin (A) and hardener (B) have widely differing viscosities, e.g., 50,(XX) cps (A) and 50 cps (B), the material having the lower viscosity may just rat-hole through the mixer, resulting in a poor mix. If a formulation calls for a ratio range of 3-5 parts per hundred, it may be difficult to mix.

Viscosity (rheological properties in general) are important in the application of latex and other paints (Pashley and Karaman, 2004). As Equation 8.13 also indicates, polymer solutions where the polymers are coils/spherical polymer particles are much less viscous than if the polymers have a rigid rod-Uke format (see also Figure 8.14). This facilitates application. 

An extensive range of speciality acrylic polymers is commercially available for very wide usage as important formulating additives which consist of pigment dispersing agents and viscosity/rheology modifiers. 

In recent years this basic acrylic chemistry has been further extended by the introduction of hydrophobic entities into the polymer backbone resulting in the development of more useful viscosity/rheology properties.
