Rheological behavior of progressively shear-thickening solutions
The rheological behavior of the recently developed polymer FM-9 in Jet A fuel and JP 8 fuel is reported. In aqueous solution, FM 9 is found to exhibit strong time-dependent shear thickening behavior. Induction time necessary for the onset of thickening is found to depend on shear rate, solvent, conc...

| Summary: | The rheological behavior of the recently developed polymer FM-9 in Jet A fuel and JP 8 fuel is reported. In aqueous solution, FM 9 is found to exhibit strong time-dependent shear thickening behavior. Induction time necessary for the onset of thickening is found to depend on shear rate, solvent, concentration, and molecular weight. Altering the nature of the solvent results in effects similar to those obtained by changing the concentration or molecular weight. A critical shear rate is derived, and is inversely proportional to the zero shear rate viscosity of the solution for the temperature and concentrations observed. The onset of shear thickening behavior appears to be related to the onset of viscoelastic response, and thus the time scale follows reduced variable behavior. |
