Abstract The flow behavior of low molecular weight liquid polybutadiene polymers was studied as a function of shear rate, temperature, and molecular structure. Measurements were made in the temperature range 15 to 50° C and shear rate range 1 to 15,000 sec−1 with a cone and plate and a capillary viscometer. Limiting low shear viscosity, flow activation energy, and critical shear rate marking onset of shear rate thinning were found to be strongly dependent upon the presence of functional groups such as hydroxyl, carboxyl, and nitrile. The modifying groups showed a greater effect than the molecular weight upon the properties measured.

A simple capillary viscometer was used to demonstrate how one obtains the true shear stress-shear rate rheological properties of a polymer solution. The methodology, described in this paper, shows how the pressure drop caused by the friction of the liquid flowing through the tube is separated from the pressure drops associated with entrance and exit effects and the elastic energy of the polymer solution.

Through creep-recovery and dynamic experiments, the viscoelasticity of polyacrylamide solutions (in short polymer) with different mass concentration are studied, the proportions of elastic part and viscous part in the polymer solution are calculated and the limit of mass concentration called high concentration polymer solution is given. It is indicated that the elastic part of the polymer solution increases firstly and tends to be constant with the increase in mass concentration under low external force condition. The minimum mass concentration of the polymer solution keeping constant elastic part is 1500mg/L. Under low stress and low shear rate conditions, the viscous part of the polymer solution is greater than that of elastic part; but under oil reservoir shear rate (6.283s-1) condition, the elastic part is greater than viscous part, and its elastic part increases with the increase in mass concentrations and the increment becomes smaller.

A study of the viscosity behavior of the graft copolymers described in Part I has been made with dilute solutions in benzene at 25 °C. Although the slope constants of the Huggins equation increase with the frequency of branching when measurements are made in a capillary viscometer under 'free fall' conditions, this is shown to be attributable to the dependence of viscosity on shear gradient. At a constant shear rate, the Huggins k′ values approximate to those of linear polymers. It is suggested that the marked increase in viscosity observed with decreasing shear rate for the graft copolymers is due to molecular entanglement.

The sedimentation density significantly decreased after addition of dispersant; the effect was more pronounced with pure alumina, as compared with SiC-containing slurry. With further addition of surfactant, the sedimentation density increased somewhat, but decreased with binderadditions. The suspension viscosity generally behaved in an opposite manner to the sedimentation density, i.e., low sedimentation density gave high low-shear viscosity, indicative of high structure formation in the suspended particles. Shear rate rheological measurements showed continuous shear thinning behavior.
