The rheological behavior of the carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) / starch blends with and without zinc oxide (ZnO) have been investigated by controlled shear rate testing ramps. All blends showed high shear thinning flow behavior, (n=0,10 - 0,32) without ZnO and (n=0,10-0,29) with ZnO. The consistency index (K) and apparent viscosity (ηa,100 ) decreased with increasing amount of starch and with the addition of 1% wt ZnO. The results also showed that occurs an inversion in the elastic and viscous modulii behavior between 25 and 700C, obeying the Arrhenius equation. The study of activation energy showed that ZnO acts in the CMC phase, increase of viscosity of mixtures. The creep and recovery test indicated a decrease in the viscosity zero shear rate, indicating an increase of viscous character.  The phase angle results also confirm an increase of viscosity with addition of ZnO.

The flow behavior and viscosity of pure aluminum, zinc and Zn-7wt%Al liquids were quantified with the effects of temperature and shear rate by rotational rheometry experiments. These systems exhibited a non-Newtonian, shear thinning and non-thixotropic flow behavior where in the liquid metal viscosity decreases with increasing shear rates. The temperature dependence of viscosity followed the Arrhenius equation. Moreover, at high shear rate regimes the flow resembles a nearly Newtonian behaviour.

In the food industry, rheological properties, such as viscosity, shear rate, and shear stress, are the most important parameters required in the design of a technological process. Therefore, in this study, we determined the flow behavior and the time-dependent flow properties of Turkish Delight (TD) in the temperature range of 25-75°C using a capillar rheometer. The structure and thermal properties of TD were investigated by XRD and a simultaneous DTA/TG analysis. The shear rate values ranged from 5 to 300s-1. We found that: (i) TD behaved as non- Newtonian pseudoplastic foodstuff; (ii) while the measurement temperature increased, viscosity decreased; and (iii) TD was a rheopectic material. The effect of temperature on viscosity was described by means of the Arrhenius equation. The activation energies for the flow of pseudoplastic TD varied from 50.1-74.2 kJ/mol, depending on shear rate. Three models were used to predict the flow behavior of TD, namely, the Power law, Bingham and Casson models. The Power law model adequately described well the flow behavior of TD at different temperatures.

Abstract Nonnewtonian flow of poly(dimethyl siloxanes) of various molecular weights has been studied with a short capillary viscosimeter. The experiment covered a wide range of shear rate, from 10−1 to 3×106sec−1. Results were as follows: (1) Flow behavior of the sample changes with the degree of polymerization. For siloxanes with degrees of polymerization less than 1.55×102, flow of the fluid is newtonian throughout the whole range of shear rates; for siloxanes with degrees of polymerization from 3.22×102 to 2.63×103, flow is nonnewtonian at moderate shear rates; it again becomes newtonian at high shear rates. With degrees of polymerization more than 3.31×103, the spiral flow rises to a high shear rate. (2) Plow behavior of the samples is expressed by modifying Shishido's equation proposed for nonnewtonian polymer solutions. (3) When the observed flow curve contains its inflection point, the upper newtonian viscosity can be estimated by a new method proposed here. (4) The relations among the end correction of capillary, the pressure loss, and the shear stress proposed by Shishido for polymer solutions are applicable to poly(dimethy! siloxane) also.

The paper presents the study of the rheological and superficial behavior (foaming power and wetting capacity) of some aqueous solutions with polyethoxylated fatty alcohols content. The influence of fatty alcohols concentration and their degree of ethoxylation as well as that of temperature on the rheological behavior was determined from the dependences between the shear stress t and the shear rate. The results demonstrate that all the studied solutions have non-Newtonian behavior, with flow behavior index smaller than 1.

The rheological behavior of the juice extracted from sugary cassava roots, a type of cassava that stored the largest amount of sugars and the starch as it was, at various temperatures (9-65ºC) and in concentrations of 5ºBrix, 10.5ºBrix, and 18.5ºBrix. The experiments were performed on a Brookfield viscometer in a shear rate range of 0.01-237.6 s-1. The rheological models of Newton, Bingham, and Ostwald-De-Waele were fitted to the experimental results. The Newton model describes well the rheological behavior of the three samples evaluated. The effect of temperature on viscosity was evaluated using an Arrhenius equation; the viscosity value is influenced by the same temperature. The activation energy values ​​for the concentrations of 5ºBrix, 10.5ºBrix and 18.5ºBrix correspond to 3.14 kcal mol-1, 3.53 kcal mol-1 and 3.71 kcal mol-1. This type of cassava can be used in the production of ethanol, fermented beverages and syrups. It is also an important alternative for food production, as the cultivation of cassava can be classified as less aggressive to the environment, in comparison with sugarcane.

Longan polysaccharide (LP) was extracted from longan (Dimocarpus longanLour.) pulp. The composition and rheological properties were determined by chemical analysis and dynamic shear rheometer. The flow behavior and viscoelastic behavior of longan polysaccharide (LP) solution were investigated by steady shear and small amplitude oscillatory shear (SAOS) experiments, respectively. The result shows that the solution is a pseudoplastic flow in a range of shear rate (1–100 s−1). The rheological behavior of LP was influenced by cations such as Na+and Ca2+. With an increase of apparent viscosity,G′andG′′were accompanied by addition of Na+and Ca2+.

The influence of a binder system to the rheological behavior of a Metal Injection Molding (MIM) feedstock is presented in the paper. The binder systems used are: a) PEG & PMMA b) Palm stearin & LLDPE and, c) Tapioca starch & LLDPE. The viscosity and shear rate of the feedstocks were measured at various range of temperature and shear rate across the L/D = 10 capillary rheometer. The flow behavior index, n and activation energy, E of each feedstock were measured to show its significance as MIM feedstock. Generally, the result indicates all feedstock exhibits a shear thinning behavior and the binders are suitable as MIM binder. Additionally, the present paper has discovered that the binder system does not have much influence to the activation energy. In order to show the relevance of the rheological behavior to the actual injection molding performance, green parts has been injection molded and the result shows an agreement with the rheological behavior result.
