Dilute Solution Viscometry

Abstract Dilute solution viscometry method is used for studying viscosity behavior of newly prepared N,O-carboxymethyl chitosan (NOCC), cellulose acetate (CA), and their blends at different compositions (0/10, 2/8, 4/6, 5/5, 6/4, 8/2, 10/0). In this method, reduced viscosity (η sp/c) and inherent viscosity (ln η rel/c) of the given polymer sample have been determined by measuring the flow time of the polymer sample in acetone solvent. Huggins (k) and Kraemer coefficients (k′) for given polymer-solvent system are calculated from the extrapolation of plots (η sp/c) versus(c) and (ln η rel/c) versus(c). The miscibility of this polymer system is determined using different criteria such as Δb, Δb′, , interaction parameter Δ[η], thermodynamic parameter α, and modified thermodynamic parameter β. Based on the positive or negative sign of this criteria, miscibility of the polymer system is investigated. The results of the dilute solution viscometry method suggested that the NOCC/CA blends are miscible at the compositions range of 4/6, 5/5, 6/4, and 8/2 and completely immiscible at the 2/8 composition. The results are also supported by Fourier transform infrared analyses of all the compositions.

Miscibility of ternary polymer blends composed of poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI), poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) was investigated by dilute-solution viscometry, FTIR spectrum, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques. The results of these measurements indicate that PEG is immiscible in the ternary CMCS/PEI/PEG polymer blend.

In this research the intermolecular interaction between polycarbonate (PC) and polyethyleneglycol (PEG) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvent was studied, at 25˚C using a dilute solution viscometry method (DSV). The reduced viscosity  and intrinsic viscosity  and viscosity interaction parameter (b) were experimentally measured, we also discuss the compatility of a polymer mixture in terms of , and the effect of gamma-rays on the reduced viscosity and intrinsic viscosity and Huggins constant of (PC). The results show that the relation between  and C is liner within C=(0.9-2)g/dl, and viscometric constant KH decreases with irradiation time while  increases with Tirr.   http://dx.doi.org/10.25130/tjps.24.2019.055

Miscibility of polymers decides the applicability of the resulting blends and immiscible polymer blends can be made compatible with suitable compatibilizer. Miscibility of blends of guar gum (GG) and methyl cellulose (MC) in common solvent water were studied by refractive index, density, ultrasonic velocity, and dilute solution viscometry methods at 30°C and 40°C. Based on these measurements, it is found that the polymer blend of GG/MC is immiscible. The effect of compatibilization with 0.02 wt% maghemite nanoparticle was studied in aqueous solution and found that 10/90 GG/MC blend is miscible in the presence of maghemite. Solution cast technique was used to prepare thin films of GG/MC blend – maghemite composite and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) method.
