Shear rheology of diluted solutions of high molecular weight cellulose
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 1986
A steady-state and dynamical rheological study was performed with dilute solutions (1-4%) of high molecular weight cellulose (M, = 350,000). The solutions are strongly viscoelastic. The steady-state viscosity and the first normal stress difference have a power law dependence on the shear rate. T h e power law indices have the same dependence on temperature and concentration. These results as well as the correlation between the steady-state viscosity and the real part of the complex viscosity are in good agreement with the Spriggs model. The 4% concentrated solution shows the beginning of a rubber-like storage modulus plateau, suggesting the existence of an entanglement network. EXPERIMENTAL Materials Menoufi cotton cellulose (DP 2000) was dewaxed by alcohol-benzene extraction. MMNO from Texaco was purified by recrystallization of the monohy
Entanglement properties of carboxymethyl cellulose and related polysaccharides
Rheologica Acta, 2017
Entanglement network of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) was characterized based on the dynamic viscoelasticity of the concentrated solutions in an ionic liquid. According to the concentration dependence of the molecular weight between entanglements (M e), M e for the molten state (M e,melt) for CMC was estimated to be 3.9 × 10 3 as a chain variable reflecting the chemical structure of the polysaccharide. Furthermore, relations between M e,melt and other chain variables were examined to elucidate the specificity in the entanglement properties of CMC and related polysaccharides. It was shown that the number of entanglement strands (P e), the ratio of the cube of the tube diameter, and the volume occupied by the entanglement strand, for CMC was 72 being significantly larger than the universal value of ca. 20 recognized for flexible polymers. Anomalous values of P e > 20 were also obtained for related polysaccharides such as cellulose and amylose.
Rheology of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride cellulose solutions. III. Elongational rheology
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2008
The elongational rheology of solutions of cellulose in the ionic liquid solvent 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Bmim]Cl) was measured at 80, 90, and 100 C; 8, 10, and 12 wt% cellulose; Hencky strains 5, 6, 7; and strain rates from 1 to 100 s À1 . Master curves were generated by shifting the elongational viscosity curves with respect to temperature and Hencky strain. Also, general master curves were generated by simultaneously shifting with respect to both temperatures and Hencky strain. From the Arrhenius plots of the temperature shift factors, the activation energy for elongational flow was deter-mined. The elongational rheology of these solutions was elongational strain rate thinning similar to that of their shear behavior and polymer melts and they were also strain hardening. Both effects and the viscosity increased with cellulose concentration.

The rheological properties of high concentrated wood pulp cellulose 1-allyl-3-methy-limidazolium Chloride ([Amim]Cl) solutions were investigated by using steady shear and dynamic viscoelastic measurement in a large range of concentrations (10-25 wt %). The measurement reveals that cellulose may slightly degrade at 110 C in [Amim]Cl and the Cox-Merz rule is valid for 10 wt % cellulose solution. All of the cellulose solutions showed a shear thinning behavior over the shear rate at temperature from 80 to 120 C. The zero shear viscosity (g o ) was obtained by using the simplified Cross model to fit experimental data. The g o values were used for detailed viscosity-concentration and activation energy analysis. The exponent in the viscosity-concentration power law was found to be 3.63 at 80 C, which is comparable with cellulose dissolved in other solvents, and to be 5.14 at 120 C. The activation energy of the cellulose solution dropped from 70.41 to 30.54 kJ/mol with an increase of concentration from 10 to 25 wt %. The effects of temperature and concentration on the storage modulus (G 0 ), the loss modulus (G 00 ) and the first normal stress difference (N 1 ) were also analyzed in this study.
Structure of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose aqueous solutions: A SANS and rheology study
We report a small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and rheology study of cellulose derivative polyelectrolyte sodium carboxymethyl cellulose with a degree of substitution of 1.2. Using SANS, we establish that this polymer is molecu- larly dissolved in water with a locally stiff conformation with a stretching parameter B = 1.06. We determine the cross sec- tional radius of the chain (rp = 3.4 A ̊ ) and the scaling of the correlation length with concentration (n 5 296 c^1/2A ̊ for c in g/L) is found to remain unchanged from the semidilute to concentrated crossover as identified by rheology. Viscosity measurements are found to be in qualitative agreement with scaling theory predictions for flexible polyelectrolytes exhibit- ing semidilute unentangled and entangled regimes, followed by what appears to be a crossover to neutral polymer concen- tration dependence of viscosity at high concentrations. Yet those higher concentrations, in the concentrated regime defined by rheology, still exhibit a peak in the scattering func- tion that indicates a correlation length that continues to scale as c^1/2.
Shear and Extensional Rheology of Cellulose/Ionic Liquid Solutions
Biomacromolecules, 2012
In this study, we characterize the shear and extensional rheology of dilute to semi-dilute solutions of cellulose in the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (EMIAc). In steady shear flow the semi-dilute solutions exhibit shear thinning, and the high frequency complex modulus measured in small amplitude oscillatory shear flow exhibits the characteristic scaling expected for solutions of semi-flexible chains. Flow curves of the steady shear viscosity plotted against shear rate closely follow the frequency dependence of the complex viscosity acquired using oscillatory shear, thus satisfying the empirical Cox-Merz rule. We use capillary thinning rheometry (CaBER) to characterize the relaxation times and apparent extensional viscosities of the semi-dilute cellulose solutions in a uniaxial extensional flow that mimics the dynamics encountered in the spin-line during fiber spinning processes. The apparent extensional viscosity and characteristic relaxation times of the semi-dilute cellulose/EMIAc solutions increase dramatically as the solutions enter the entangled concentration regime at which fiber spinning becomes viable.

The knowledge of the rheological properties of polymers makes their use interesting in various fields of applications, such as food industry, cosmetics, enhanced oil recovery or construction materials. Whatever the application, the effect of temperature and concentration on these properties is of great importance. This study covered a wide range of concentrations from 0.2 w/% to 1 w/%, and temperatures from 10°C to 80°C. The results obtained provide interesting information regarding the effects of the temperature and concentration of the aqueous solutions of the polymer since they reveal that the rheological properties remained practically unchanged in the temperature range considered. The impacts of shear rate, temperature and concentration on the flow behavior were analyzed. Small-amplitude oscillatory shear measurements were performed, and the results obtained show that the apparent viscosity is strongly influenced by the concentration of the aqueous solution of HEC, exhibiting a marked non-Newtonian shear-thinning behavior at different temperatures. The flow behavior is well described by several rheological models. The effect of temperature on the kinematic viscosity was fitted with the Arrhenius model; the behavior of this model in relation to experimental viscosity values was suitable and the linear fit showed good regression coefficients. The dynamic state was well described with the generalized Maxwell model.

Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (Na CMC) is used for its thickening and swelling properties in a wide range of complex formulated products for pharmaceutical, food, home and personal care applications, as well as in paper, water treatment and mineral processing industries. To design Na CMC solutions for applications, a detailed understanding of the concentration-dependent rheology and relaxation response is needed. We address this here by investigating aqueous Na CMC solutions over a wide range of concentrations using rheology as well as static and dynamic light scattering. The concentration dependence of the solution specific viscosities sp could be described using a set of three power laws, as predicted from the scaling theory of polyelectrolytes. Alternatively, a simpler approach could be used, which interpolates between two power law regimes and introduces only one characteristic crossover concentration. We interpret the observed behavior as a transition from the non-entangled semi-dilute to the entangled concentration regimes; this transition behavior was not observed in the solution structure, as determined using static light scattering. Dynamic light scattering revealed three relaxation modes. The two fastest relaxations were assigned as the 'fast' and 'slow' relaxation modes typically

The rheological behavior of hydrophobically modified hydroxyethyl cellulose (HMHEC), an associative thickener, was studied and compared with that of hydrophobically modified ethoxylated urethanes (HEURs) and nonassociative celluloses. In contrast to HEURs, a simple Maxwell model does not fit the linear viscoelastic behavior of HMHEC. Differences are attributed to the stiffness and comb structure of HMHEC. A generalized Maxwell model with a logarithmic distribution of relaxation times is proposed, and another parameter that includes Rouse-like relaxation is added to fit behavior at high frequencies. Four parameters are needed to describe HMHEC viscoelasticity: a mean relaxation time, λM; its corresponding standard deviation, σ; a plateau modulus, GN; and a viscosity at infinite frequency, η∞. Satisfactory fitting is obtained for all concentrations and temperatures in the range of frequencies studied. The sharp increase of GN with concentration indicates loop-to-bridge transitions. Te...

The purpose of this work was to investigate the swelling behavior of four cellulose ethers that differ in their type and degree of substitution and to elucidate the network structure of the swollen matrices under dynamic and equilibrium conditions. Dynamic vapor sorption was performed to assess the ability of polymer chains and water molecules to interact. Dynamic and equilibrium swelling studies were performed to calculate molecular parameters of swollen polymers using the Flory-Rehner theory. We determined the volume-swelling ratio of the polymer matrices and observed that it was dependent on their hydrophilicity. We determined molecular parameters that characterize the swollen hydrogels of cellulose derivatives, such as the polymer volume fraction in the swollen state, u2,S, the effective molecular weight of the polymer chain between physical entanglements, Me, the number of repeating units between two entanglements, u, and the number of entanglements per chain, e. The Me of the ...
