| Abstract: | Gelatin/1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride solutions with different gelatin concentrations were prepared by using the ionic liquid 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride AMIM]Cl as a solvent. Rheological properties of the gelatin ionic liquid solutions were investigated by steady shear and oscillatory shear measurements. In the steady shear measurements, all gelatin solutions showed a shear-thinning behavior at low shear rates, which we suggest reflect the characteristics of solvent AMIM]Cl. In the oscillatory shear measurements, the effects of concentration and temperature on solution viscoelasticity were determined. The results show that the storage modulus G′ of gelatin solutions was essentially independent of gelatin concentration and temperature at all frequencies, while the solution viscosity greatly depended on polymer concentration and temperature. The loss modulus G″ increased with increase in concentration and decreased with rising temperature. This indicated that physical origins of elastic and dissipative behaviors were completely different. The influence of dissolved gelatin on the elasticity of solutions seemed to be minor. |
