The rheological and structural properties of perfluoropolyether (PFPE) lubricant films including viscosity, shear stress,
and birefringence were measured at relatively low to extremely high shear rates using a rotational optical rheometer. The
viscosity of various films with different thicknesses exhibit Newtonian behavior up to a shear rate 1 × 104 s−1, with a transition to shear-thinning behavior obvious at higher shear rates. Birefringence of these films was also measured
for the first time, and these results indicate chain alignment with shear in the shear-thinning regime. The shear rate at
which alignment occurs is similar to that of the onset of shear thinning. This correlation between chain alignment and shear
thinning provides direct evidence that the ability of PFPEs to lubricate hard drives at high shear rates is a direct consequence
of the ability of the applied shear field to align the molecules on a molecular level. 相似文献

We investigated the deformation of a strong shear thinning droplet undergoing simple shear flow in a Newtonian liquid. The
droplet was an aqueous solution of poly(ethylene oxide) end capped with an alkyl group that forms spherical micelles in aqueous
solution. At high concentrations and below a critical temperature, the jammed micelles showed strong shear thinning behaviour,
and neither a yield stress nor a Newtonian viscosity was observed. At small shear rates, the droplet rotated and aligned in
the flow, but did not deform or only very weakly. At high shear rates, the droplet deformation increased with increasing shear
rate. The deformed droplet did not relax after the shear was stopped except for a modest rounding of the edges. For each shear
rate, an apparent viscosity, η
ad, of the equivalent Newtonian droplet was calculated assuming affine deformation. η
ad showed a power law dependence on the capillary number Ca with an exponent of − 1.8 and was larger than the shear viscosity
of the micelle suspension at the same shear rates. The results were explained by the existence of a strong gradient of the
viscosity inside the droplet leading to a very low viscosity fluid layer near the droplet/matrix interface. 相似文献

A systematic study of the rheological properties of solutions of non-motile microalgae (Chlorella vulgaris CCAP 211-19) in a wide range of volume fractions is presented. As the volume fraction is gradually increased, several rheological regimes are observed. At low volume fractions (but yet beyond the Einstein diluted limit), the suspensions display a Newtonian rheological behaviour and the volume fraction dependence of the viscosity can be well described by the Quemada model (Quemada, Eur Phys J Appl Phys 1:119–127, 1997). For intermediate values of the volume fraction, a shear thinning behaviour is observed and the volume fraction dependence of the viscosity can be described by the Simha model (Simha, J Appl Phys 23:1020–1024, 1952). For the largest values of the volume fraction investigated, an apparent yield stress behaviour is observed. Increasing and decreasing stress ramps within this range of volume fractions indicate a thixotropic behaviour as well. The rheological behaviour observed within the high concentration regime bears similarities with the measurements performed by Heymann and Aksel (Phys Rev E 75:021505, 2007) on polymethyl methacrylate suspensions: irreversible flow behaviour (upon increasing/decreasing stresses) and dependence of the flow curve on the characteristic time of forcing (the averaging time per stress values). All these findings indicate a behaviour of the microalgae suspensions similar to that of suspensions of rigid particles. A deeper insight into the physical mechanisms underlying the shear thinning and the apparent yield stress regime is obtained by an in situ analysis of the microscopic flow of the suspension under shear. The shear thinning regime is associated to the formation of cell aggregates (flocs). Based on the Voronoi analysis of the correlation between the cell distribution and cell sizes, we suggest that the repulsive electrostatic interactions are responsible for this microscale organisation. The apparent yield stress regime originates in the formation of large-scale cell aggregates which behave as rigid plugs leading to a maximally random jammed state. 相似文献

This paper describes the changes in the orientation of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) in polycarbonate as determined by
transient and oscillatory shear rheology. It is well known from rheological studies on composites with macroscopic fibers
that the overshoot in transient shear viscosity is caused by the change in orientation distribution of these fibers. This
study shows that although an overshoot in transient shear viscosity of MWCNT/polycarbonate is measured at shear rates as low
as 0.1 s − 1, the MWCNT network is disturbed only at considerably higher shear rates. Scanning electron microscopy micrographs and oscillatory
shear show that MWCNT in thermoplastic composites will only be oriented at high shear rates. Simultaneous measurements of
the electrical conductivity during rheological start-up shear and oscillatory measurements show large differences between
electrical and mechanical relaxation behaviors. The viscosity of the composite seems to depend strongly on the MWCNT network
density, whereas the proximity of the tubes at the network points seems to determine the electrical properties of the MWCNT
composite. 相似文献

A numerical simulation of multiple flexible fibers in suspension in Newtonian simple shear flow is presented. The method used is similar to those of previous recent simulation works by Fan et al. [J. Non-Newtonian Fluid Mech. 74 (1998) 113] and Yamane et al. [J. Non-Newtonian Fluid Mech. 54 (1994) 405], however, the method has been modified to allow a small amount of bending and torsion in the fibers. A restoring moment acts to straighten the fibers as they interact in the flow.It is demonstrated that this simulation can be used to extract basic rheological information about the suspension including fiber orientations and suspension viscosity. The viscosity of semi-concentrated to concentrated flexible fiber suspensions are shown to increase by a magnitude of the order 7–10% greater than the equivalent rigid fiber suspension tested. This is in qualitative agreement with previous experimental work by Goto et al. [Rheologica Acta 25 (1986) 119] and Blakeney [J. Colloid Interface Sci. 22 (1966) 324]. The implication is that any constitutive relation involving particulate suspensions described by orientation vectors may quantitatively underestimate suspension viscosity, particularly for fibers of large aspect ratio, or low Young’s modulus, whereby the tendency to flex is greater [Rheologica Acta 25 (1986) 119]. If particulate deformation were accounted for (by whatever means) in the existing constitutive relationship, predictions of bulk suspension parameters such as viscosity should be noticeably improved. A method is developed to modify an existing rigid-fiber viscosity to an equivalent flexible fiber viscosity, hence improving viscosity prediction ability. 相似文献

Summary The steady shear flow properties of suspensions of vinylon fibers in silicone oil were measured by means of a cone-plate type rheometer. Three kinds of vinylon fibers used had no distributions of length and were more flexible than glass fibers and the like. The content of the fibers ranged from 0 to 7 wt.%. Shear viscosity, the first normal-stress difference, yield stress, and relative viscosity were discussed. Shear viscosity and relative viscosity increased with the fiber concentration and the aspect ratio, and depended upon the shear rate. The applicability of Ziegel's equation of viscosity for fiber suspensions was investigated. The first normal-stress difference increased with the fiber concentration, aspect ratio, and shear rate and its relative increase was much larger than for shear stress and viscosity depending on the properties of the characteristic time,
The yield stress could be determined by Casson plots for large aspect ratio fiber suspensions even in low concentration comparing with the suspensions of spherical particles or powder. The influence of the flexibility of the fibers for the rheological properties of the fiber suspensions can not be ignored.With 12 figures and 2 tables 相似文献

Summary The rheological properties of vinylon fiber suspensions in polymer solutions were studied in steady shear flow. Shear viscosity, first normal-stress difference, yield stress, relative viscosity, and other properties were discussed. Three kinds of flexible vinylon fibers of uniform length and three kinds of polymer solutions as mediums which exhibited remarkable non-Newtonian behaviors were employed. The shear viscosity and relative viscosity (
r
) increased with the fiber content and the aspect ratio, and depended upon the shear rate. Shear rate dependence of
r
was found only in the low shear rate region. This result was different from that of vinylon fiber suspensions in Newtonian fluids. The first normal-stress difference increased at first slightly with increasing fiber content but rather decreased and showed lower values for high content suspensions than that of the medium. A yield stress could be determined by using a modified equation of Casson type. The flow properties of the fiber suspensions depended on the viscosity of the medium in the suspensions under consideration.With 16 figures and 1 table 相似文献

The breakup of liquid bridges under the action of capillary forces is used for studying the rheology of suspensions under
stretching. The experiments were performed with suspensions of finegrained (3–30 μm) sand in glycerin for sand volume fractions
up to 0.465. The bridge thinning process was registered using an electro-optical measuring device and videofilming. The results
were analyzed on the basis of a theory developed earlier for the thinning of a liquid bridge under the action of capillary
forces. It is found that, for fairly slow stretching realized in the initial stage of the thinning, the rheological behavior
of the suspensions considered agrees with the model of a Newtonian viscous fluid. Along with this, the measured effective
viscosity of the suspension turned out to be approximately two-fold greater than the suspension viscosity under shear. The
origin of this discrepancy is analyzed. With increase in the stretching rate, in the final stage of the thinning, the weakening
of the suspension occurs, which is manifested in the formation of a local rapidly thinning neck in the bridge, similar to
that observed in the breakup of plastic materials. 相似文献

The relationship between the rheological properties of deionized aqueous suspensions of hectorite particles and the dispersion
states of the particles has been studied with a broad range of salt and particle concentrations. The shear viscosity of the
hectorite suspensions decreases drastically after exhaustively deionizing the suspensions with ion-exchange resins. By means
of DLS measurements, it is clarified that the average size of the flocs of hectorite particles decreases and reaches the Stokes
diameter of the individual particle as the degree of deionization advances. This fact strongly supports the idea that the
electrical double layer around the hectorite particles expands significantly in the exhaustively deionized state and the particles
are well-dispersed individually and do not form a three-dimensional network structure composed of particles, whereas such
a network structure forms in the presence of a large amount of salt. In the case of exhaustively deionized state, the suspension
forms a glassy state, at high particle fractions. The results show the importance of the electrical double layer that causes
a strong repulsive force among the particles on the particle dispersion state, especially in the exhaustive deionization area
below 10 − 4 M, and on the rheological properties; the hectorite suspension can be considered a Newtonian liquid in the deionized state,
but it becomes elastic-solid in the presence of salt above a certain concentration confirmed by normal stress measurements. 相似文献

Microstructure of shear-thickening concentrated suspensions determined by flow-USANS 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Reversible shear thickening in colloidal suspensions is a consequence of the formation of hydroclusters due to the dominance
of short-ranged lubrication hydrodynamic interactions at relatively high shear rates. Here, we develop and demonstrate a new
method of flow-ultra small angle neutron scattering to probe the colloidal microstructure under steady flow conditions on
length scales suitable to characterize the formation of hydroclusters. Results are presented for a model near hard-sphere
colloidal suspension of 260 nm radius (10% polydisperse) sterically stabilized silica particles in poly(ethylene glycol) at
shear rates in the shear thinning and shear thickening regime for dilute, moderately concentrated, and concentrated (ordered)
suspensions. Hydrocluster formation is observed as correlated, broadly distributed density fluctuations in the suspension
with a characteristic length scale of a few particle diameters. An order–disorder transition is observed to be coincident
with shear thickening for the most concentrated sample, but the shear-thickened state shows hydrocluster formation. These
structural observations are correlated to the behavior of the shear viscosity and discussed within the framework of theory,
simulation, and prior experiments. 相似文献

In this work a novel in-line non-invasive rheological measuring technique is developed and tested in pilot plant and industrial-scale
applications. The method is based on a combination of the ultrasonic pulsed echo Doppler technique (UVP) and pressure difference
method (PD). The rheological flow properties are derived from simultaneous recording and on-line analysis of the velocity
profiles across the tube channel and related radial shear stress profiles calculated from the pressure loss along the flow
channel. It is shown that the in-line UVP-PD technique allows for the non-invasive rheological flow behaviour characterization
of non-transparent and highly concentrated suspensions.

The motion of a slender body falling in quiescent polymer solutions is investigated experimentally. It represents the simplest model of motion of single fibers in the flow of fiber suspensions. The fall behavior in quiescent polymer solutions is compared with that in water. It is demonstrated that a slender body falling in Newtonian liquids rotates to adopt a horizontal orientation, whereas in non-Newtonian liquids it rotates towards a vertical orientation but for less concentrated solutions is not able to reach the vertical orientation and moves sideways with a constant orientation angle. The effects of shear thinning and elasticity on the motion of the body are discussed. 相似文献

Rheological and mechanical properties of silica colloids: from Newtonian liquid to brittle behaviour
Rheological and mechanical properties of aqueous mono-disperse silica suspensions (Ludox? HS40) are investigated as a function
of particle volume fraction (ϕ
p ranging from 0.22 to 0.51) and water content, using shear rate tests, oscillatory methods, indentation and an ultrasonic
technique. As the samples are progressively dried, four regimes are identified; they are related to the increasing particle
content and the existence and behaviour of the electrical double layer (EDL) around each particle. For 0.22 ≤ ϕ
p ≤ 0.30), the suspensions are stable due to the strong electrostatic repulsion between particles and show Newtonian behaviour
(I). As water is removed, the solution pH decreases and the ionic strength increases. The EDL thickness therefore slowly decreases,
and screening of the electrostatic repulsion increases. For 0.31 ≤ ϕ
p ≤ 0.35, the suspensions become turbid and exhibit viscoelastic (VE) shear thinning behaviour (II), as they progressively
flocculate. For 0.35 ≤ ϕ
p ≤ 0.47, the suspensions turn transparent again and paste-like, with VE shear thinning behaviour and high elastic modulus
(III). At higher particle concentration, the suspensions undergo a glass transition and behave as an elastic brittle solid
(IV, ϕ
p = 0.51). 相似文献

The properties of fiber suspensions are highly sensitive to the suspension microstructure. In dilute or semi-dilute suspensions, nL2d≪1, the fibers' orientation distribution is controlled by hydrodynamic interactions among the fibers. However, direct mechanical contacts among the fibers play an important role in semi-concentrated suspensions, nL2d=O(1). Here, n is the number of fibers per unit volume, L is the fiber length and d is the fiber diameter. We have performed dynamic simulations of fiber suspensions including contact forces that prevent any two fibers from passing through one another. Collisions between the fibers cause them to flip more frequently in the shear flow, leading to a spread of the orientation distribution away from the flow direction. Both this increased orientational dispersion and the direct stress transmitted through the contacts enhance the shear viscosity of the suspension significantly. The contacts also give rise to normal stress differences. The results of the simulation are compared with experiments and the relative importance of contacts and hydrodynamic interactions is discussed. 相似文献

Single phase non-Newtonian microporous flow combined with the electroviscous effect is investigated in the pore-scale under conditions of various rheological properties and electrokinetic parameters. The lattice Boltzmann method is employed to solve both the electric potential field and flow velocity field. The simulation of commonly used power-law non-Newtonian flow shows that the electroviscous effect on the flow depends on both the fluid rheological behavior and pore surface area ratio significantly. For the shear thinning fluid with power-law exponent n < 1, the fluid viscosity near the wall is smaller and the electrovicous effect plays a more important role compared to the Newtonian fluid and shear thickening fluid. The high pore surface area ratio in the porous structure increases the electroviscous force and the induced flow resistance becomes important even to the flow of Newtonian and shear thickening fluids. 相似文献

Rheological properties of peanut butter 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The rheological properties of two types of commercial peanut butter have been studied. Both products are concentrated suspensions,
and differ by the presence of additives. The first type, referred to as “100% peanuts,” is an unstabilized suspension consisting
of solid peanut particles in peanut oil which is a Newtonian fluid. The second type, referred to as “smooth,” consists of
the same suspension stabilized with a vegetable oil and contains other ingredients such as salt and sugar in very small quantities.
A mean volume particle diameter of 6.6 μm has been determined, the particle diameter distribution was found to be narrow,
and the solids volume fraction was estimated to be 0.6. Slip encountered in rheometry was greatly reduced by gluing sandpaper
to the parallel plates of the rheometer. Both samples behaved like plastic materials and apparent yield stresses of 24 Pa
and 370 Pa have been determined for the unstabilized and the stabilized suspensions, respectively. No linear domain was found
for both suspensions and the non-linearity was confirmed by deformed Lissajous curves and higher odd harmonics in the output
signal of small amplitude oscillatory shear experiments. The stabilized suspension behaved more like a solid, the elastic
modulus being larger than the loss modulus and almost independent of the frequency. This solid-like behavior is supposedly
caused by strong repulsive (steric) forces induced by the stabilizing agent.

The non-monotonic shear flow of a viscoelastic equimolar aqueous surfactant solution (cetylpyridinium chloride-sodium salicylate)
is investigated rheologically and optically in a transparent strain-controlled Taylor Couette flow cell. As reported before,
this particular wormlike micellar solution exhibits first a shear thinning and then a pronounced shear-thickening behavior.
Once this shear-thickening regime is reached, a transient phase separation/shear banding of the solution into turbid and clear
ring-like patterns orientated perpendicular to the vorticity axis, i.e., stacked like pancakes, is observed (Wheeler et al.
1998; Fischer 2000). The solution exhibit several unique features as no induction period of the shear induced phase, no structural
build-up at the inner rotating cylinder, jumping pancake structure of clear and turbid ringlike phases, and oscillating shear
stresses appear once the pancake structure is present. According to our analysis this flow phenomenon is not purely a mechanical
or rheological driven hydrodynamic instability but one has to take into account structural changes of the oriented micellar
aggregates (flow induced non-equilibrium phase transition) as proposed by several authors. Although this particular flow behavior
and the underlying mixture of shear induced phases and mechanical instabilities is not fully understood yet, some classification
characteristics based on a recent theoretical approach by Schmitt et al. (1995) and Porte et al. (1997) where a strong coupling
between the flow instability (non-homogeneous flow profile due to the bands) and the structural changes causes the observed
transient phenomena can be derived. In reference to the presented model the observed orientation of the rings is typical for
complex fluids that undergo a spinodal phase separation coupled with a thermodynamic flow instability. In contrast to other
shear banding phenomena, this one is observed in parallel plate, cone-plate, and Couette flow cell as well as under controlled
stress and controlled rate conditions. Therefore, it adds an additional aspect to the present discussion on shear banding
phenomena, i.e., the coupling of hydrodynamics and phase transition of rheological complex fluids.

The rheological characterizations of concentrated suspensions are generally carried out assuming “well-mixed” suspensions. However, the variation of the concentration distributions of the ingredients of the formulation, i.e., the “goodness of mixing”, the size and shape distributions of the particle clusters and the rheological behavior of the suspension all depend on the thermo-mechanical history that the suspension is exposed to during the mixing process. Here, various experimental tools are used for the characterization of the degree of mixedness (concentration distributions) of various ingredients along with the characterization of rheological material functions, wall slip behavior and the maximum packing fraction of a graphite/elastomer suspension. The degree of mixedness values of the ingredients of the suspensions processed using batch and continuous processes and under differing operating conditions were characterized quantitatively using wide-angle X-ray diffraction and thermo gravimetric analysis and were elucidated under the light of the electrical properties of the suspension as affected by the mixing process. Upon achieving better homogeneity of the graphite particles and the binder and decreases in the size and breadth of the size distributions of particle clusters (as inferred from electrical measurements and maximum packing fraction values), the elasticity (storage modulus) and the shear viscosity (magnitude of the complex viscosity from small-amplitude oscillatory shear and shear viscosity from steady torsional and capillary rheometry) of the suspension decreased significantly and the wall slip velocity values increased. These findings demonstrate the intimate relationships that exist between the rheological behavior of concentrated suspensions and the thermo-mechanical history that they are exposed to during the processing stage and suggest that the preparation conditions for suspensions should be carefully selected and well documented to achieve reproducible characterization of rheological material functions. 相似文献

The main purpose of this study was to examine the viscous and elastic properties and capillary flow of fiber suspensions in Newtonian fluids as well as in polymer solutions. The fillers used were glass, carbon, nylon and vinylon fibers. Glycerin was used as a Newtonian suspending medium and HEC and Separan solutions as viscoelastic suspending media. The viscosity and the first normal-stress difference were measured using a coaxial cylindrical rotating viscometer and a parallel-plate rheogoniometer respectively. The influence of the concentration, aspect ratio, diameter and flexibility of the fibers on the viscous and elastic properties of the fiber suspensions was investigated. Empirical equations were obtained for the relative viscosity and first normal-stress difference for the fiber suspensions in glycerin. The capillary flow of these suspensions is discussed in part II. 相似文献

The behavior of short glass fiber–polypropylene suspensions in extensional flow was investigated using three different commercial
instruments: the SER wind-up drums geometry (Extensional Rheology System) with a strain-controlled rotational rheometer, a
Meissner-type rheometer (RME), and the Rheotens. Results from uniaxial tensile testing have been compared with data previously
obtained using a planar slit die with a hyperbolic entrance. The effect of three initial fiber orientations was investigated:
planar random, fully aligned in the stretching flow direction and perpendicular to it. The elongational viscosity increased
with fiber content and was larger for fibers initially oriented in the stretching direction. The behavior at low elongational
rates showed differences among the various experimental setups, which are partly explained by preshearing history and nonhomogenous
strain rates. However, at moderate and high rates, the results are comparable, and the behavior is strain thinning. Finally,
a new constitutive equation for fibers suspended into a fluid obeying the Carreau model is used to predict the elongational
viscosity, and the predictions are in good agreement with the experimental data. 相似文献
