STRUCTURAL VISCOSITY IN SOME LYOPHILIC SOLS: I. THE FLOCCULATION OF GELATIN AND CASEIN BY AGAR
Keyword(s):
The relative viscosities of mixtures of gelatin and agar sols were measured at varying pressures using the overflow viscosimeter. All the sols showed wide deviations from Poiseuille's law, with regions of structure and turbulence at low and high pressures, respectively. A minimum viscosity was found for a intermediate mixture, showing a dehydrating action of the agar on the gelatin. This effect was masked in a similar series using casein and agar, due to the much greater difference in relative viscosity of the two sols. A marked structural turbulence was found in the region of structure in many cases. The relation between velocity of flow and pressure is expressed by a parabolic equation.
