Abstract Nonnewtonian flow of poly(dimethyl siloxanes) of various molecular weights has been studied with a short capillary viscosimeter. The experiment covered a wide range of shear rate, from 10−1 to 3×106sec−1. Results were as follows: (1) Flow behavior of the sample changes with the degree of polymerization. For siloxanes with degrees of polymerization less than 1.55×102, flow of the fluid is newtonian throughout the whole range of shear rates; for siloxanes with degrees of polymerization from 3.22×102 to 2.63×103, flow is nonnewtonian at moderate shear rates; it again becomes newtonian at high shear rates. With degrees of polymerization more than 3.31×103, the spiral flow rises to a high shear rate. (2) Plow behavior of the samples is expressed by modifying Shishido's equation proposed for nonnewtonian polymer solutions. (3) When the observed flow curve contains its inflection point, the upper newtonian viscosity can be estimated by a new method proposed here. (4) The relations among the end correction of capillary, the pressure loss, and the shear stress proposed by Shishido for polymer solutions are applicable to poly(dimethy! siloxane) also.
