Abstract A single polymer pair (BR and EPDM) was used to confirm experimentally rheology-morphology relationships that have been previously gleaned from comparison of a variety of blend systems. The relative importance of the primary factors which govern blend morphology (composition and relative mixing viscosity of the components) was determined over the range of practical interest. In addition, correlation of mixing rheology with more accurate and complete shear modulus data allowed (a) molecular interpretation of rheological behavior in terms of network parameters, such as physical entanglements, and (b) estimation of the elastic and loss components of the shear modulus during mixing. An attempt was made at explaining the dependence of blend morphology on the viscoelastic properties of the components in terms of a fracture or tearing mechanism.

Pterodon pubescens, popularly known as "sucupira", it is traditionally used as anti-inflammatory agent. This work aimed to evaluate the in vivo antiarthritic properties of a P. pubescens oil nanoemulsion and the rheological behavior of the developed system. The viscoelastic properties, creep and recovery were evaluated by dynamic oscillatory tests. The antiarthritic activity of the nanoemulsion was evaluated by the zymozan-induced arthritis model, at three different doses (25, 50 and 125 mg/kg/day). P. pubescens oil nanoemulsion has been shown to decrease cell recruitment to a joint cavity and increased cartilaginous regeneration at the end of treatment of the dose of 50 mg/kg. The evaluation of the behaviour of deformation allowed to observe that the P. pubescens nanoemulsion presents predominantly elastic characteristic. These findings demonstrate the potential of P. pubescens and nanotechnology in the development of new antiarthritic drugs.

The ability to behave in a fluidlike manner fundamentally separates thermoset and thermoplastic polymers. Bridging this divide, covalent adaptable networks (CANs) structurally resemble thermosets with permanent covalent crosslinks but are able to flow in a manner that resembles thermoplastic behavior only when a dynamic chemical reaction is active. As a consequence, the rheological behavior of CANs becomes intrinsically tied to the dynamic reaction kinetics and the stimuli that are used to trigger those, including temperature, light, and chemical stimuli, providing unprecedented control over viscoelastic properties. CANs represent a highly capable material that serves as a powerful tool to improve mechanical properties and processing in a wide variety of polymer applications, including composites, hydrogels, and shape-memory polymers. This review aims to highlight the enabling material properties of CANs and the applied fields where the CAN concept has been embraced.

An overview is given of the rheological behavior of biopolymers in aqueous suspensions and of their role in new ceramic shaping processes (starch consolidation casting and carrageenan gel casting). In particular, we give a state-of-the-art account of the viscometric behavior, measured via rotational viscometry (apparent viscosity, including its shear-rate and concentration dependence), and the viscoelastic properties characterized via oscillatory shear rheometry (storage modulus, loss modulus and phase angle, including their temperature dependence), of starch-water systems, starchcontaining alumina suspensions, carrageenan-water systems and carrageenan-containing zirconia suspensions.

Nature rubber (NR) is neither completely viscous nor elastic in nature, but viscoelastic in their properties. In the experiment, we used two types of equipments named rubber process analyzer (RPA) 2000 and mooney viscometer to characterize the viscoelastic properties of NR dried by microwave and hot-air, respectively. In present research, RPA tests on uncured NR dried by different methods were carried out using frequency and strain sweeps, and Mooney viscometer was detected using the big rotor at 100°C. The results showed that microwave drying has not influenced the viscoelastic properties of NR greatly, without changing the profiles of its rheological behavior. Compared with hot-air drying, the properties of NR dried by microwave improved significantly. As a new application, microwave drying technology offered an alternative way to the drying of NR.

The features of the rheological behavior of CFRC matrix systems are considered as highly concentrated dispersed systems. They are characterized by a dilatative, thixotropic and thixotropic-dilatant nature of the flow, depending on the composition, concentration, dispersion, and a number of other factors. The equation of the concentration dependence of the viscosity of suspensions (Pivinskii equation) is proposed. It is shown that the determining factor is the content of a kinetically free dispersion medium in them. The effect of the content of grain aggregate on the rheological properties of foundry systems is characterized. The significant effect of polydispersity of the particles of the solid phase and the temperature on the rheological properties of the HCBS with the dilatant nature of the flow is shown. The data on the effect of defloculation and stabilization of matrix systems on their rheological properties, which determine the reeterological properties of molding systems to obtain CFRC. Ill. 13.
