Effect of hydrogen bonding and ionic aggregation on the melt rheology of an ethylene–methacrylic acid copolymer and its sodium salt

A study has been made of the dynamic and steady shear melt theology of an ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer, its methyl ester, and 70% neutralized sodium salt. Measurements were made with a Rheometrics mechanical spectrometer using the eccentric rotating disks and cone-and-plate geometries over a temperature range of 120–180°C and frequency range of 10^?3 to 10² rad/sec. Correspondence was found between steady shear viscosity and the complex dynamic viscosity for the ester and acid materials. Over the temperature and frequency range studied the time-temperature superposition principle was applicable to G′ data for each of the derivatives and a supermaster curve could be constructed from the three individual master curves. Time-temperature superposition was found not applicable to G″ data for the sodium salt. Differences in rheological response between the ester and acid copolymers are explained by differences in T_g. It is suggested that differences in temperature shifts ΔT required to produce G′ superposition between the three derivatives reflect differences in ΔH for interchain interactions. A mechanism for flow of clustered ionomers is consisting of an initiation and a propagation step.     

Viscoelastic behavior of an amorphous polymer under oscillations of large amplitude

The influence of periodic shear deformation and steady flow on a typical amorphous polymer is discussed. Forced sinusoidal vibrations were applied and the complex viscosity was determined. The action of a vibration of finite amplitude is equivalent to steady flow with a definite finite shear rate. Both processes cause truncation of the long-time part of the relaxation specturm. It may be accepted to a first approximation that the long-time boundary of the remaining part of the relaxation spectrum conforms to the long-time part of the initial spectrum, even if the plateau region of the spectrum is truncated. The concept of limiting truncation of the short-time part of the spectrum is introduced, this corresponding to the minimum absolute value of the complex viscosity versus reduced frequency and the lowest values of the dynamic and apparent viscosities. With an approximate representation of the relaxation spectrum, calculations were made of the maximum values of the viscosity and the coefficient relating the first difference of normal stresses to the square of the shear rate, and also of the apparent viscosity and normal stresses as functions of the shear rate. The calculated values are compared with experimental measurements, and it is shown that the correlation of the apparent viscosity and the absolute value of the complex viscosity is distributed at high frequencies, being superseded by a correlation between the apparent and dynamic viscosities.

Rheology of linear and branched styrene–acrylonitrile copolymers. Similarities and differences

A comprehensive investigation of rheological properties of linear and branched styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer specimens with similar molecular characteristics has been carried out. During the steady-state shear flow, the viscosity properties of both specimens are described by the Cross equation. In this case, the branched copolymer is characterized by a higher viscosity and shear thinning degree as well as by substantially lower shear rate values corresponding to transition to the non-Newtonian flow region. The elasticity of the branched copolymer melt (estimated from the value of the first normal stress difference) is considerably higher than that of the linear. This is reflected on the characteristics of occurrence of unstable flow at high shear rates. Rougher extrudate surface distortions are characteristic for the branched copolymer, and the shear rate corresponding to their occurrence is noticeably lower than for the linear copolymer. The dynamic characteristics of the copolymers being compared also attest to a greater elasticity of the branched specimen. An investigation of the viscoelastic properties in a wide temperature range allowed constructing a generalized frequency dependence of dynamic moduli encompassing various regions of the relaxation states of the copolymer specimens. Continuous relaxation spectra were calculated by means of the Mellin transform. It is shown that relaxation phenomena caused by segmental mobility doesn’t depend on the presence of branchings, whereas branching of the chain has a substantial effect on translation mobility of the chain as a whole. Branching leads to a noticeable increase of transient elongation viscosity but has almost no effect of strain hardening of the melt.     

Dynamic mechanical properties of suspensions of micellar casein particles

Small micellar casein particles, so-called submicelles, were obtained by removing colloidal calcium phosphate from native casein by adding sodium polyphosphate. Aqueous submicelle suspensions were characterized using light scattering and rheology as a function of concentration and temperature. The casein submicelles behave like soft spheres that jam at a critical concentration (C(c)) of about 100 g L(-1). The viscosity does not diverge at C(c), but increases sharply, similarly to that of multiarm star polymers. C(c) increases weakly with increasing temperature, which leads to a strong decrease of the viscosity close to and above C(c). Concentrated submicelle suspensions show strong shear-thinning above a critical shear rate and the shear stress becomes independent of the shear rate. The critical shear rates at different temperatures and concentrations are inversely proportional to the zero-shear viscosity. At much higher shear rates, the shear stress fluctuates strongly in time indicating inhomogeneous flow. The frequency dependence of casein submicelle suspensions is characterized by elastic behavior at high frequencies (concentrations) and viscous behavior at low frequencies (concentrations).     

Effect of composition and structure on rheological properties of styrene-butadiene block copolymers

Styrene-butadiene copolymers of the S-B-S and S-B-S-B-S types, both unmodified and extended with paraffinic-naphthenic oil, were studied by dynamic mechanical spectroscopy and capillary rheometry. In the triblocks at low deformation rates, an increase in 1-vinylethylene unit content leads to an increase in complex dynamic viscosity |η*|. This may be explained by their different supermolecular structure with a higher proportion of long relaxation times. The pentablocks show a considerable effect of molecular parameters on their flow behaviour at low deformation rates. In all the systems, steady viscosity η shows no significant differences at higher shear rates. Obviously the supermolecular structure is disintegrated in these conditions and the effect of chemical structure is negligible. An expected decrease in viscosity in the whole range of deformation rates was observed with the oil-extended copolymer. The dependences of complex dynamic viscosity on angular frequency were compared with those of steady viscosity on shear rate but no unequivocal conclusion as regards the validity of the Cox-Merz rule could be reached.

Rheological and relaxation properties of MQ copolymers

The rheological properties of MQ copolymer melts are investigated under steady-state shear flow and dynamic oscillatory shear within a wide temperature range. The MQ copolymers are highly branched polycyclic compounds (densely crosslinked nanosized networks) incapable of further intermolecular interactions. The samples have identical chemical compositions, but their detailed molecular structures are different. The polymers under consideration show Newtonian behavior in a wide shear-stress range. The values of viscosity vary considerably with the molecular structure of the copolymers. The generalized frequency dependence of complex dynamic modulus components is constructed with the use of the temperature-frequency superposition method. In a first approximation, the viscoelastic behavior of the materials is satisfactorily described by the Maxwell model with a single relaxation time. In this respect, the studied materials are similar to micellar colloids. The relaxation spectra of the copolymers distinguished by narrow distributions are calculated.     

Ultraslow dynamics in asymmetric block copolymers with nanospherical domains

Low shear rate and low frequency measurements focused on the extremely slow dynamics of a three-dimensional body-centered cubic (BCC) structure of an asymmetric block copolymer under nanophase-separated conditions. The material studied was poly(styrene-b-ethylene-co-butylene-b-styrene) swollen in a hydrocarbon oil selective for the midblock. Transient viscosities during start-up of shear flow at extremely low shear rates are governed by very long relaxation times and by a modulus that is nearly the same as the plateau modulus obtained from oscillatory shear experiments. Only at extremely low shear rates a zero shear viscosity could be attained. Its very high value is close to the viscosity calculated from stress relaxation experiments. The steady shear viscosity decreases by several orders of magnitude when increasing the shear rate. SAXS experiments on samples sheared even at very low rates indicated loss of the BCC order that was present in the annealed samples before shearing. The SAXS profile recorded on such a sample showed a first-order maximum followed by a broad shoulder indicating a liquid-like short-range order of PS nanospheres in the swollen EB matrix.     

Effect of ionic strength on the rheological behavior of aqueous cetyltrimethylammonium p-toluene sulfonate solutions

The influence of ionic environment on the rheological properties of aqueous cetyltrimethylammonium p-toluene sulfonate (CTAT) solutions has been studied under three different flow fields: simple shear, opposed-jets flow and porous media flow. Emphasis was placed in the experiments on a range of CTAT concentration in which wormlike micelles were formed. It is known that these solutions exhibit shear thickening in the semi-dilute regime, which has been explained in terms of the formation of shear-induced, cooperative structures involving wormlike micelles. In simple shear flow, the zero shear viscosity exhibits first an increase with salt addition followed by a decrease, while the critical shear rate for shear thickening increases sharply at low salt contents and tends to saturate at relatively high ionic strengths. The results are explained in terms of a competition between micellar growth induced by salt addition and changes in micellar flexibility caused by ionic screening effects. Dynamic light scattering results indicate that micelles grow rapidly upon salt addition but eventually achieve a constant size under static conditions. These observations suggest that the wormlike micelles continuously grow with salt addition, but, as they become more flexible due to electrostatic screening, the wormlike coils tend to adopt a more compact conformation. The trends observed in the apparent viscosities measured in porous media flows seem to confirm these hypotheses-but viscosity increases in the shear thickening region-and are magnified by micelle deformation induced by the elongational nature of the local flow in the pores. In opposed-jets flow, the solutions have a behavior that is close to Newtonian, which suggests that the range of strain rates employed makes the flow strong enough to destroy or prevent the formation of cooperative micellar structures.
