Experimental Procedures for the Measurement of Polymer Solubility and Rheological Properties

Abstract

The rheological evaluation of viscoelastic polymer solutions is important in characterizing two-phase flow, aerodynamic breakup, dynamic contact angle and spreading behavior, and adhesive transfer of solutions between surfaces. The preparation and property measurement of polymer solutions is an important aspect of several of these investigations and rather than report these methods separately, the development of these techniques is documented in this methodology report. The experimental procedures and calibration techniques developed for rheological research provided reliable, standardized methodology for investigation of the viscoelastic behavior of polymer solutions.
