In injection molding processes, the property of molten resin should be characterized accurately. Among several properties, the PvT state is the most important one, since it affects the shrinkage, warpage, molded weight, and the part density. Thus, the PvT data is crucial to the simulation of the injection molding process. This work shows how such a measurement can be performed for a semi-crystalline and amorphous polymers. The PvT measurement has been conducted using a capillary rheometer using a suitable accessory that blocks the capillary. The results have shown that the PvT data can be obtained using such a rheometer and then the PvT coefficients of the Tait equation can be reached.

Plasticity is the ability of clay to respond to pressure with a continuous and permanent change of shape in any direction without breaking apart, and hold that shape when released. In this work, the effect of water content and aging period on the plasticity of porcelain clay was evaluated using the capillary rheometer to measure the flow rate and the shear stress. The shear stress of porcelain clay was slightly increased with increasing the aging period, indicating that the plasticity of porcelain clay was influenced by an organic content. It was also observed that the water content in the porcelain clay had a great influence on the plasticity of porcelain clay. The shear stress with water content of 21 wt% was sharply increased with increasing shear rate, but the shear stresses with water contents of 24 and 27 wt% is gently incremented.

Characterizing the extensional rheological properties of non-Newtonian fluids is crucial in many industrial processes, such as inkjet printing, injection molding, and fiber engineering. However, educational institutions and research laboratories with budget constraints have limited access to an expensive commercial extensional rheometer. In this study, we developed a custom-made extensional rheometer using a CO₂ laser cutting machine and 3D printer. Furthermore, we utilized a smartphone with a low-cost microscopic lens for achieving a high spatial resolution of images. The aqueous polyethylene-oxide (PEO) solutions and a Boger fluid were prepared to characterize their extensional properties. A transition from a visco-capillary to an elasto-capillary regime was observed clearly through the developed rheometer. The extensional relaxation time and viscosity of the aqueous PEO solutions with a zero-shear viscosity of over 300 mPa·s could be quantified in the elasto-capillary regime. The extensional properties of the solutions with relatively small zero shear viscosity could be calculated using a smartphone's slow-motion feature with increasing temporal resolution of the images.

고무중에서 polymer melt와 가장 유사한 유변학적 거동을 보이는 EPDM을 택하여, 가황반응속도를 조사하였으며, 이에 따라 부분적으로 가교도를 달리한 시편의 유변학적 특성을 capillary rheometer를 사용하여 검토하였다. 가교도가 0, 1.5, 3, 6%로 증가함에 따라 die 입구 및 출구에서의 압력 손실은 커지고, melt fracture가 일어나는 전단속도는 낮아지며 특히 die swell은 거의 직선적으로 증가하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 die swell, melt fracture, end effects등의 근원이 고분자 사슬의 탄성변형에 있음을 확인하였으며, 또한 압출, 압연등에서 흔히 관측되는 die swell의 요동이 가공중 발생할 수 있는 가황반응에 기인할 수도 있음을 보여준 것이다.

The kneading process and formulations of feedstock obviously affect the quality of MIM products. In the present work, the rheological behaviour of the composite MIM feedstock, metal matrix (Cu) with few additions of ceramic powders $(Al_2O_3)$, was measured by a self-designed/manufactured simple capillary rheometer. Experimental results show that the distribution between powders and binder is more uniformly when blending time increased. Though high powder loading will increase the feedstock viscosity, the fluidity reveals relatively stable through the load curves of extrusion. Besides, the temperature-dependence of viscosity of the feedstock approximately follows an Arrehnius equation. Basing on Taguchi's method, the kneading optimization conditions and the rheological model of the feedstock were established, respectively.

Extensional flow of viscoelastic fluids is widely utilized in various industrial processes such as electrospinning, 3D printing and plastic injection molding. Extensional rheological properties, such as apparent viscosity and relaxation time, play an important role in the design and evaluation of the viscoelastic fluid-involved processes. In this work, we propose a lab-built capillary breakup extensional rheometer (CaBER) based on flow image processing to investigate the capillary breakup of polyethylene oxide (PEO) solution and its extensional rheological properties. We found that the apparent extensional viscosity and extensional relaxation time of the PEO solution are independent of the strike time. The proposed CaBER is expected to be applied to characterization of the extensional rheological properties of viscoelastic fluids at low cost with high precision.

비상용성 LDPE/PS 블렌드계 (86.5/l3.5 vol%)를 내부 혼합기를 사용하여 만들었고 레오미터 (rheometer)와 scanning electron microscope (SEM)으로 분산상인 droplet들의 변형과 합체 (coalescence)거동에 대하여 살펴보았다. 혼합 초기에 일정한 크기의 droplet들이 서로 뭉쳐졌고 큰 변형 하에서 실모양 (thread-like)을 나타냈다. 본 실험에 사용한 LDPE/PS 블렌드계의 critical capillary number를 De Bruijn의 실험식으로 계산한 결과 0.96이었고 local capillary number는 3.867이었다. 또한 블렌드 시편을 $200^{\circ}C$에서 다양한 시간으로 서냉한 후 서냉 시간에 따른 형태의 변화를 관찰하였다. $200^{\circ}C$에서 ${\gamma}$=1789일 때 최대 크기의 droplet이 관찰되었고 특히 서냉 시간이 15분일 때 형태의 파괴 (break-up)가 일어났다. Droplet의 합체에 결정적인 영향을 미치는 것은 기질의 점도이다.

Low Reynolds number, dilute, and surfactant-free bubble suspensions are prepared by mechanical mixing after introducing carbon dioxide bubbles into a Newtonian liquid, polyol. The apparent shear viscosity is measured with a wide-gap parallel plate rheometer by imposing a simple shear flow of capillary numbers(Ca) of the order of $10^{-2}$ ~ $10^{-1}$ and for various gas volume fractions ($\phi$). Effects of capillary numbers and gas volume fractions on the viscosity of polyol foam are investigated. At high capillary number, viscosity of the suspension increases as the gas volume fraction increases, while at low capillary number, the viscosity decreases as the gas volume fraction increases. An empirical constitutive equation that is similar to the Frankel and Acrivos equation is proposed by fitting experimental data. A numerical simulation for deformation of a single bubble suspended in a Newtonian fluid is conducted by using a newly developed two-dimensional numerical code using a finite volume method (FVM). Although the bubble is treated by a circular cylinder in the two dimensional analysis, numerical results are in good agreement with experimental results.

1.0 wt% 소수성실리카를 안정제로 하는 현탁중합에 의하여 $75^{\circ}C$에서 개시제의 농도를 변화하며 합성한 폴리스티렌 (PS) 및 폴리뷰틸메타크릴레이트 (PBMA) 입자의 점도를 모세관 레오미터 (capillary rheometer)를 이용하여 측정하였다. 중량평균분자량이 66,500 g/mol인 PS 입자는 $190^{\circ}C$에서 측정한 경우 낮은 전단속도에서는 뉴톤 (Newtonian) 거동을 나타내었다. PS 입자의 경우 분자량이 증가할수록 전단속도 전 영역에서 전단 묽어짐 (shear thinning) 거동을 보였다. PBMA 입자는 $170^{\circ}C$에서 점도를 측정하였으며 중량평균분자량이 156,700 g/mol 인 경우 낮은 전단속도에서만 뉴톤 거동을 나타내었다. 분자량의 증가에 따라 전단 묽어짐 거동이 관찰되었으며, 이러한 변화의 형태는 PS 입자와 유사하였다. 카본블랙을 충전제로 합성한 고분자 복합체 입자의 전단점도는 PS 및 PBMA 둘 다 $170^{\circ}C$에서 측정하였다. PS 및 PBMA 복합체 입자의 점도변화는 카본블랙의 증가에 따라 점진적으로 증가하였으나, 충전제의 증가에 따른 점도의 증가는 분자량의 증가 효과에 비교하여 미약하였다. 내부혼합기를 이용하여 제조한 카본블랙을 함유하는 PS 복합체의 점도변화는 현탁중합법으로 합성한 카본블랙을 함유하는 PS 복합체 입자의 점도변화에 비하여 작았으며 이는 향상된 분산으로 인하여 발생한 것으로 추정된다. 이 실험에서 선택한 분자량 및 카본블랙의 농도에서 yield 거동은 관찰되지 않았다.
