Abstract Effects of a naphthenic oil and of HAF carbon black on SBR processability were evaluated. Three rheological parameters related to processability are apparent viscosity, extrudate swell and extrudate surface roughness; they were studied with a capillary rheometer over a shear rate range of 10 to 3000 sec−1. This instrument is particularly useful because processability can be evaluated at industrial processing conditions. At constant shear rate an increase in oil level in the compound decreases viscosity, decreases swell, and reduces the shear stress range over which a smooth extrudate can be obtained. An increase in black level increases viscosity, decreases swell, and extends the range over which a smooth extrudate can be obtained. The opposing effects which oil and black have on processability demonstrate that an optimum combination of these two components exist. To best utilize the rubber process oil and carbon black the optimum processable compound must be selected. Such a selection is illustrated by the use of contour graph analysis of the data.

The rheological properties of carbon black gel ink were investigated by measurement the relationship between shear stress and shear rate. The fitting to the common rheological curve of gel ink with Hersegel-Bulkley equation was introduced. And the rheological parameters used to characterize the writing properties of gel ink were proposed. The results indicated that the gel ink system possessed strong shear-thinning ability. And the writing performance of the gel ink could be characterized with rheological parameters comprehensively.

The paper investigates the effect of fillers on the viscosity properties of one-pack polyurethane sealants. It is noted that with the introduction of such mineral fillers as Mikarb, Midol, MTD2 chalk and aluminum hydroxide, the dynamic viscosity of the composition increases uniformly, while when filled with chemically precipitated Calofort SV chalk and MT-GShM talc, an abnormally sharp increase in viscosity is observed. Such an increase in viscosity for Calofort SV is explained by a highly developed surface, in contrast to other fillers. Talc is characterized by a plate-like shape of particles, which leads to a complex orientation of talc particles in the composition and shear difficulties.It was found that a sealant filled with chemically precipitated chalk has more than 100 pts. wt.(parts by weight), per 100 pts. wt. of the prepolymer under the influence of shear forces (at a constant shear rate) during the first 10 minutes of exposure, a sharp decrease in viscosity is observed, which is characteristic of thixotropic compositions, reaching a constant value after 5-10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the thixotropy of the sealant is restored. Talc does not impart thixotropic properties to the sealant composition.

The article presents the results of research on the influence the type of base oil in lubricating compositions has on the rheological parameters of selected lubricants. Vegetable, mineral, and synthetic dispersion phases were used to produce lubricating greases. The modified amorphous silica was used as the dispersed phase. However, as a modifying additive was used a substance containing the antioxidants, corrosion inhibitors, and EP/AW additives. The experiments on rheological properties were carried out using a Physica MCR 101 rotational rheometer (manufactured by Anton Paar), equipped with a diffusion air bearing and connected to a pneumatic supply – an oil-free Jun-Air compressor and air drying block. The device is equipped with a Peltier system for temperature control in the range of –20°C to 200°C and an external thermostatic VISCOTHERM V2 system, working in the temperature range of –20°C to 200°C. The rheometer control and measurement data analysis were performed using Rheoplus software. The tests were carried out using a cone-plate measuring system with a shear rate range of 0.01–100 s-1 at 20°C for lubricating compositions prepared on various oil bases. To evaluate the value of rheological parameters, the results of tests of the dependence between shear stress and shear rate (flow curves) were used. For the theoretical determined on the flow curves, the following rheological models were used: Bingham, Herschel–Bulkley, Casson, and Tscheuschner. The values of the shear stress (yield point) in depending on the type of dispersion phase has changed. This proves that the use of a base oil with the appropriate functional properties does not weaken, but reinforces the spatial structure of a lubricating grease. It has an important meaning when selecting construction parameters when designing a central lubrication system with grease made from a vegetable oil base (Abyssinian oil). The rheological properties of the lubricating grease are influenced by the type of base oil and thickener, any additives in the grease, the production technology of the grease, and the conditions in which it is used. The tests revealed an important influence of the base oil on the rheological parameters that describe the behaviour of lubricating compositions subjected to stresses and strains in a lubricating system.

Abstract Capillary rheometry of carbon-black-filled butadiene—acrylonitrile copolymers at 125°C was performed over a wide shear rate range. The data were corrected for pressure loss in the barrel and at the capillary entrance, and for the non-Newtonian velocity profile (Rabinowitsch correction). No appreciable effect of pressure on viscosity was observed. The die swell values were very small, 1.1–1.4. This fact and the shape of the plots of shear stress vs. shear rate imply the presence of a particulate structure, which is probably built by carbon black surrounded with bound rubber. Unlike the behavior of raw amorphous elastomers, the steady-shear viscosity, the dynamic complex viscosity, and the viscosity calculated from tensile stress-strain behavior were significantly different from each other. That is, the capillary flow data indicated an alteration of the structure towards strain softening, and the tensile stress-strain behavior showed strain hardening, indicating retention of the structure up to the yield point. In the dynamic measurement, being conducted at very small strain, the structure is least disturbed. With unfilled elastomers essentially the same deformational mechanism was believed to be responsible in these three measurements, because the results can be expressed by a single master curve.

A study of the viscosity behavior of the graft copolymers described in Part I has been made with dilute solutions in benzene at 25 °C. Although the slope constants of the Huggins equation increase with the frequency of branching when measurements are made in a capillary viscometer under 'free fall' conditions, this is shown to be attributable to the dependence of viscosity on shear gradient. At a constant shear rate, the Huggins k′ values approximate to those of linear polymers. It is suggested that the marked increase in viscosity observed with decreasing shear rate for the graft copolymers is due to molecular entanglement.

Abstract Important factors of potential use for manipulating static and dynamic stiffness and the damping characteristics of compounds based on styrene-butadiene and polybutadiene elastomers and their blends have been outlined. Their characteristics have been compared with those of IIR and EPDM compounds. The effects of variations in composition are quantitatively defined to assist the compounder in combining these effects in a manner that will lead to a desired combination of properties. In addition to the expected increase in static spring rate and dynamic spring rate with carbon black level, the following responses to compositional variations were found important: 1. The complex dynamic spring rate is more sharply dependent upon carbon black level than the static spring rate. 2. The complex dynamic spring rate is essentially independent of the level of crosslinking while static spring rate increases. 3. Damping coefficient is directly proportional to the level of carbon black and inversely proportional to the level of crosslinking. 4. Styrene level in a polymer blend and plasticizer composition can be used to adjust loss modulus and storage modulus at a given temperature and also to modify the rate of change of these properties with temperature. 5. The strain dependency of storage modulus was found in one instance to vary with the elastomer composition. The IIR vulcanizate, when formulated to the same static modulus, exhibited a larger strain dependence than the SBR, BR, and EPDM composition.

Rheological properties of Cholesteryl n-valerate, Cholesteryl decanoate and Cholesteryl myristate which are esters of cholesterol have been studied. Phase transition temperatures and rheological parameters such as viscosity, elastic modulus G[Formula: see text], loss modulus G[Formula: see text] as functions of temperature, shear rate and time are investigated. In frequency sweep test, a higher transition crossover region has occurred for Cholesteryl myristate, whereas for Cholesteryl n-valerate a frequency-independent plateau prevailed for both the moduli. The occurrence of blue phase in Cholesteryl decanoate during temperature sweep measurements is an indication for the rheological support. The results for steady state have informed that cholesteric esters are having non-Newtonian flow behavior in their respective cholesteric phases. The power-law model has explained well the shear rate dependence of shear stress. A few practical applications of these esters as lubricant additives are discussed, too.
