The rheological behaviors of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) in NaSCN aqueous solutions containing different amount of Graphene oxide (GO) were investigated through both steady-state and dynamic rheological measurements. The parameters such as apparent viscosity (ηα), flow activation energy (Eη), structural viscosity index (Δη), storage modulus (G’), loss modulus (G’’) and mechanical loss factor (tanδ) were measured to illustrate the rheological behaviors of these solutions. The results showed that the apparent viscosity decreased with adding appropriate amount of GO, while the structural viscosity index, the flow activation energy and the mechanical loss factor of GO/PAN spinning solutions increased. Accordingly, a possible mechanism of GO effect on rheological behaviors of PAN solution was proposed in this work.

The extraordinary properties of shape memory NiTi alloy are combined with the inherent viscoelastic behavior of a silicon elastomer. NiTi wires are incorporated in a silicon elastomer matrix. Benefits include features as electrical/thermal conductivity, reinforcement along with enhanced damping performance and flexibility. To gain more insight of this composite, a comprehensive dynamic thermomechanical analysis is performed and the temperature- as well as frequency-dependent storage modulus and the mechanical loss factor are obtained. The analyses are realized for the composite and single components. Moreover, the models to express the examined properties and their temperature along with the frequency dependencies are also presented.

The direct stiffness technique was employed to characterise the complex modulus properties of a silicone oil-based electrorheological fluid over a frequency range from 30Hz to 300Hz and a temperature range from 0°C to 60ºC. The ER fluid device utilised was a set of concentric cylinders possessing a radial gap of 3mm between adjacent cylinders. Electric field strengths of between 0kV/mm and 2kV/mm were applied across the ER fluid. The results show that the shear modulus of the ER fluid decreased monotonically as the temperature was increased from 0ºC to 60ºC. Overall, the shear modulus decreased by a factor of up to 20. On the other hand, the shear loss factor increased from a low value of about 0.05 at 0ºC to a high value of about 1.0 at 60ºC. Conversely, as the electric field strength was increased from 0kV/mm to 2kV/mm, the shear modulus increased whereas the loss factor decreased. At all temperatures and electric field strengths of these investigations, both the shear modulus and loss factor increased in value as the excitation frequency was increased. The sets of measured temperature- and frequency-dependent data were converted, using the master curve technique, to master curves of shear modulus and loss factor which vary with frequency over several decades at a constant reference temperature and for varying levels of the electric field strength.
