The poly(vinylchloride) (PVC) nanocomposite was prepared by melt mixed of PVC with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes containing vinyl group (V-POSS). The rheological behavior of V-POSS/PVC nanocomposites was investigated by torque rheometer and capillary rheometer. The influences of composition of blends, shear rate, shear stress on melt apparent viscosity and non-Newtonian index (n) were discussed. The dynamic mechanical properties, mechanical properties and morphology were determined. The result shows that the plastic time of nanocomposites decreases while melt viscosity increases with increasing V-POSS content. V-POSS has a good compatibility with PVC. The nanocomposites have better impact strength with increasing V-POSS content. V-POSS can use as process aid and impact aid at appropriate contents.

Blends of polycarbonate (PC) and highly branched polystyrene (HBPS) were prepared by melt blending. The steady rheological behavior of them was determined using a capillary rheometer, furthermore, the effect of shear rate, temperature and the blend component on the viscosity of the blends was discussed. The results showed that all the blends exhibit the nature of the pseudo-plastic fluids, and the viscosity of them decreases dramatically with the increase of temperature and does slightly with the increase of shear rate. At a fixed shear stress, the viscosity of the blends is decreased with the increase of the HBPS content. Microstructure studies using SEM showed that all the blends are characteristic of a two-phase morphology, with spherical droplets of the minor HBPS phase dispersed in the continuous PC phase.

The rheological behavior of PA6/montmorillonite(MMT) by reactive extrusion was investigated using cone-and-plate rheometer. The experimental results indicated that PA6/MMT exhibited shear-thinning behavior. The shear stress of both neat PA6 and PA6/MMT increased with the increase in the shear rate. The reduction of the viscous activation energy with the increase of shear stress reflected PA6/MMT can be processed over a wider temperature.

The rheological behavior and extrudate swell of polypropylene (PP)/silicon carbide (SiC) composites were investigated. Polypropylene-grafted-maleic anhydride (PP-g-MA) was introduced into blending system as a compatibilizer. The effect of silicon carbide loading and surface modification on the rheological behavior of PP/SiC composites were studied using a capillary rheometer and SEM analysis. The results showed that the composites exhibit pseudoplastic behavior as the shear stress and extrudate swell increased with increasing shear rate, while shear viscosity decreased. Moreover, an increasing elongation rate leads to reduce elongation viscosity. The addition of PP-g-MA in PP/SiC composites has significantly decreased the apparent shear stress, apparent shear viscosity and percentage of extrudate swell.

In this work the rheological behavior of two varieties of honey were evaluated using a Brookfield viscometer R.V.T in a temperature range of 5-20°C. In order to interpret the experimental results in terms of viscosity, the torque-speed data and scale readings were converted into shear stress-shear rate relations using numerical conversion values proposed by Mitschka. This method offers excellent potential for quality control testing in the food industry. Samples exhibited Newtonian behavior and the temperature effect on the viscosity followed an Arrhenius-type relationship.

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.

Binary and ternary blends of poly lactic acid (PLA), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and tapioca cassava starch (TCS) were prepared by the help of melt blend method. Rheological and mechanical properties of the prepared blends were studied. Rheological properties were studied using capillary Rheometer, shear rate, shear stress, the non-Newtonian index, were determined .Mechanical properties were studied in terms of tensile properties, stress at break, strain at break and Young's modulus have been determined by help of Universal Test Machine (UTM-3969).The results shows the ternary blends reveals shear-thinning behavior, over the range of the studied shear rates where the true shear rate of the blend decreases while increasing the shear rate. It also found that the true viscosity of the blend decreases with increased ABS content.
