Rheological Modeling of Polymer/layered silicate Nanocomposites
Appl. Rheol. 21:2 (2011) 25434 (11 pages)
►
This work takes a phenomenological approach to modeling the rheology of polymer/clay nanocomposites in (shear rate)
γ ≤ 1 / s
based on experimental observations [10]. The total stress was divided to three contributions: Matrix stress, σM,
inter-particle
(matrix/particle) stress, σP,
and hydrodynamic stress σH. Based on the superposition of complex viscosities, η*, plotted against
strain rate amplitude, γ0ω,
at different nonlinear strain amplitudes, a modified Bingham-type constitutive equation proposed
by Doiraswamy et. al [16] was used to model σM+σP
while σH was modeled by using constitutive equation proposed by
Lipscomb et. al [25] for ellipsoidal particles. The comparison between experimental and modeling results showed that steady
hydrodynamic stress in simple shear flows scales with complex viscosities in oscillatory experiments when compared at
γ = γ0ω.
On the basis of this observation, the network-like behavior of the polymer nanocomposite was attributed to retarded
chain dynamics as a result of polymer/clay interactions. In order to take into account the thixotropic behavior of network
structure, the constitutive equation proposed by Coussot [18] was employed for modeling σM+σP.
Both Coussot and Doraiswamy equations gave a reasonable
quantitative prediction of transient stress in simple shear flow up to shear rates as
high as γ = 0.1 / s.

Effective composition of high concentration fly ash-bottom ash mixture slurry for efficient disposal through pipelines
Appl. Rheol. 21:2 (2011) 23480 (10 pages)
►
The composition of high concentration ash slurry requires careful selection of particle size distribution (PSD) to achieve the
required rheological properties for efficient disposal through pipelines. In the present study, the maximum static settled concentration,
CW-max, tests and rheological measurements were carried out for a total eighteen nos. of ash samples (nine nos.
of fly ash samples and nine nos. of fly ash.bottom ash mixture samples) in the concentration range of 60 - 70 wt%. It was
observed that the CW-max value reached maximum for the composition of mixture slurry consisting of fly ash and bottom ash
with d50 as 6.4 μm and 144 μm respectively at a fixed blend ratio (weight ratio of fly ash to bottom ash) of 4:1. This was attributed
to the packing effect and was correlated to the ratio of surface to surface separation for the coarse bottom ash particles,
β, to the average fly ash particle size, d50-f, to achieve higher solids concentration. The rheological behaviour of the ash
slurry samples were described by non-Newtonian power law model in the range of solids concentration studied. Also a substantial
reduction in viscosity was observed for the same composition of mixture slurry sample which was attributed to the
poly-dispersive characteristics of the ash particles. It was indicated that the slurry viscosity was very much influenced by particle
size ratio (λ = dlarge/dsmall)
and volume fraction of solids. The study revels that the blending of fly ash and bottom ash at
a controlled PSD may be employed for preparation of high concentration ash mixture slurry for pipeline transport.

The rheology of binary mixtures of highly concentrated emulsions
Appl. Rheol. 21:2 (2011) 25326 (3 pages)
►
The rheological parameters (elastic modules and the yield stress) of binary mixtures of highly concentrated emulsions with
different droplet sizes can be several times lower than additive values in a certain range of concentration. This is related to
the proper packing of small droplets between larger ones without compression of droplets. While the yield stress is practically
absent for these uncompressed droplets, the rather high storage modulus demonstrates the significance of interdroplet
interaction in this system.

Role of Extensional Viscosity in Paper Coating
Appl. Rheol. 21:2 (2011) 23607 (12 pages)
►
In this paper, the role of extensional viscosity in different paper coating processes was evaluated. Numerical models for the
various coating application processes (blade coating, film coating, and curtain coating) were constructed to calculate the
extensional rate. Different rheological methods were employed to measure extensional viscosity versus extensional rate for
model coating colour systems. Pilot coater trials were carried out to study the performance of each model coating colour in
curtain, blade and film coating. It was demonstrated that extensional viscosity of model coating colours depends on the rate
of extension, and colours can be extension thickening or extension thinning.With the numerical calculation results of extension
rate in coating application processes, the extensional viscosity test results of model coating colours were matched to
their performance in pilot coater experiments. It was shown that increasing the extensional viscosity measured at the appropriate
extension rate that exists in blade or rod metering increased blade or rod load. Misting in film coating was reduced by
low extensional viscosity measured at the appropriate extension rate. Cratering in curtain coating was reduced by increasing
extensional viscosity measured at the appropriate extension rate. It was further concluded that the extensional viscosity can
be used to predict the coating performance only if it is measured at the prevailing extensional rate of the specific coating
process speed.

Particle Image Velocimetry in concentrated suspensions : Application to local rheometry
Appl. Rheol. 21:2 (2011) 23735 (10 pages)
►
This paper presents an experimental facility that allows simultaneous viscosimetric and Particle Image Velocimetry measurements
on concentrated suspensions in a wide-gap Couette rheometer. The experimental procedure is detailed: the optical
characteristics of the index-matched suspension are carefully studied, the bottom end effect on both the viscosimetric measurements
and the recorded velocity profiles are analysed. First the experimental procedure is tested on a Newtonian fluid
whose viscosity is known. The spatial and time resolutions of our device are shown to be 200 μm and 100 ms. The precision
of the local viscosity measurement is evaluated to better than 4 %. Then we show that the device can be used to characterize
the rheological behaviour of a 47 %-concentrated suspension of 30 μm spheres. According to the particles large size, the
Brownian motion can be neglected. However, colloidal interaction are still noticeable.
