Abstract: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,
$$bar tau $$
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
Keywords:Fiber suspension  first normal-stress difference  yield stress  Casson plot  cone-plate rheometer
