A semiconducting poly(naphthalene quinone) radical (PNQR) was synthesized from Friedel-Craft acylation between naphthalene and phthalic anhydride and used as dispersing particles of a dry-base electrorheological (ER) material in silicone oil. Under an applied electric field (E), the dynamic yield stress (${\tau}_{dyn}$) of this ER fluid, obtained from a steady shear experiment with a controlled shear rate mode, was observed to increase with $E^{1.45}$ Based on this relationship, we propose a universal correlation curve for shear viscosity, which is independent of E using a scaling analysis.

Al$_2$O$_3$/ZrO$_2$ 비수성 현탁액의 분산과 레올로지에 미치는 methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) /ethanol (EtOH) 용매혼합의 영향을 침전밀도, 점도를 측정함으로써 조사하였다. 분산제 'Hypermer' KD-1이 첨가된 다량의 MIBK를 함유하는 용매 ($\geq$60vol%)에서 $Al_2$O$_3$와 ZrO$_2$ 입자의 침전밀도는 증가하였다. 80MIBK/20EtOH(vol%)에서 ball milling한 현탁액이 좁고 unimodal한 입자크기분포를 나타내었다. 모든 현탁액은 의가소성유동을 나타내었으나 shear thinning은 $Al_2$O$_3$/ZrO$_2$의 혼합비, MIBK/EtOH의 혼합비에 따라서 다소 다르게 거동하였다. 순수한 MIBK를 사용한 $Al_2$O$_3$(<300 s$^{-1}$ ) 및 ZrO$_2$(<3000 s$^{-1}$ ) 현탁액은 주어진 전단속도범위내에서 가장 강한 shear thinning을 나타내었다. 동일한 용매 (80MIBK/20EtOH, vol%)를 사용한 경우의 shear thinning은 $Al_2$O$_3$/ZrO$_2$의 혼합비에 거의 의존하지 않았다.

The static and dynamic rheological behavior of concentrated sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) stabilized, deformability controllable polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) emulsions is reported and comparisons made with silica (hard sphere) suspensions. Steady-mode measurements indicate 'hard' (viscoelastic) droplets behave as hard spheres, while 'soft' (viscous) droplets induce structural flexibility of the emulsion against shear. Dynamic-mode measurements reveal that viscoelasticity of droplets provides the great magnitude of elasticity for the 'hard' emulsion, while formation of planar films between droplets is the origin of the elasticity of 'soft' emulsions. Combination of steady and dynamic rheological behavior has enabled depiction of droplet structure evolution in relation to the shear stress applied, especially by taking advantage of the normal force that reflects the transient deformation of droplets.

In aqueous alumina tape casting, the effects of altering the composition of the suspensions, the binders and the casting thickness were studied. The rheological behavior of the suspensions and the defects of the dried tapes were examined and the relationships between them are discussed. The changes in the defect regions reported in the previous paper were related with the rheological properties with variations of the binder, the composition and the casting thickness. The shear thinning factor increased with the organic content and the solid content (the decrease of water content). The apparent viscosity increased with the shear thinning factor. The relation between the shear thinning factor and the log apparent viscosity was similar for all binder types. In the relation between the defect free region and the rheological properties, the defect free region became narrower with increasing casting thickness. The defect free region is independent of binder type. Therefore, the thicker tape is more difficult to produce in aqueous alumina tape casting. Knowledge of the rheological properties of the suspensions could help Predict the defect type and the possibility of defect free dried tapes.

The present study investigated the effects of the osmotic environment on the rheological properties of erythrocytes and their suspensions. In an iso-osmotic medium, erythrocytes forming a biconcave discocyte under resting conditions, exhibited high deformability. In a low-osmotic medium, the deformability of erythrocytes, which swelled and exhibited a spherical shape, significantly decreased at a high shear stress and the high-shear viscosity of the cell suspension was slightly higher than that of normal blood. Hyper-osmotic stress, however, which caused to form echinocytes, decreased cell deformability but exhibited smaller viscosity in low shear rates than iso-osmotic blood viscosity. These results showed a close relation with the aggregability measurements, in that hypertonic blood showed lower aggregability than the hypotonic and isotonic RBC suspensions. These findings indicate that the physicochemical environment has a strong influence on the rheological properties of the erythrocyte and its suspensions.

It is expected that particle size distribution of any portion obtained through screening, is of more uniform than that of the original mixture, typically following such as log-normal, Rosin-Rammler distributions and so on. In this study, therefore, a new relation between parameters of the uniform distribution and flow characteristics of the coarse particle suspensions is derived based on the continuous polydisperse model (Ookawara and Ogawa, 2002b), which is derived from the discrete polydisperse model (Ookawara and Ogawa,2002a). The derived model equation predicts a linear increase of viscosity with shear rate, viz., dilutant flow characteristics. Further, the increase of viscosity is expected to be proportional to the square of volume fraction of particles, and to show the linear dependency on density and average diameter of particles. It is also shown that the uniform distribution model includes additional term that expresses the effect of distribution width. For verification of the model, the experimental results of Clarke (1967) are cited as well as in our previous work for the monodisperse model (Ookawara and Ogawa,2000) since most parameters were varied independently in his work. It is suggested that the newly introduced term expands the applicable range compared with the monodisperse model.

반전도성 polyaniline의 유도체들로서 poly(aniline-co-sodium diphenylamine sulfonate), poly(aniline-co-o-ethoxyaniline), poly(o-methylaniline), poly(o-methoxyaniline)를 중합하여 전기유변유체의 입자로 사용하였다. 각 분산액은 전기장하에서 전형적인 전기유변특성을 나타냈으나, 낮은 전단변형률에서의 stress plateau 영역에서 입자의 종류에 따라 다른 흐름특성을 얻었다. 전기유변유체의 전기장에 따른 flow curve 변화와. dynamic yield stress와 전기장 간의 관계로부터 접근한 scaling law를 이용하여 각 전기유변유체의 universal flow curve를 구하였다.

에너지 고분자인 poly(BAMO-AMMO)와 유사한 특성을 갖는 폴리에틸렌 플라스토머인 Exact를 고분자 결합제로, RDX(research department explosive)와 유사한 특성을 갖는 dechlorane을 충전제로 사용한 고농축 복합화약 시뮬란트 현탁계의 유변물성을 연구하였다. 회분식 용융혼련기를 사용하여 현탁계의 혼화거동을 조사하였는데 상당한 점성소산열이 발생하였다. 충전율이 70 v% 이상에서는 토크의 지속적인 감소가 있었는데 이는 벽면 미끌어짐 현상에 기인한다고 사료되었다. SEM 관찰 결과 충전제 입자들은 잘 분산되어 있었고 혼화 조건의 영향은 크지 않은 것으로 판단되었다. 현탁계의 뚜렷한 전단박화(shear thinning) 특성으로 인하여 낮은 전단속도의 평판-평판 레오미터에서 측정이 어려운 고충전 현탁계도 높은 전단속도의 모세관 레오미터에서 유변물성 측정이 가능하였다.

A novel and simple method using a cylindrical penetrometer is being developed for the measurement of yield stress. The principle of this technique is based on the measurement of the static equilibrium of a falling penetrometer in a yield stress fluid. The yield stress is simply determined by a balance of forces acting on the penetrometer. The yield stress of Carbopol gels and $TiO_2$ suspensions has been measured using this method. The results are in reasonable agreement with the values from conventional methods. The effects of the dimensions and weight of the penetrometer have been examined. The long-term behaviour was also observed. No measurable creep was seen and equilibrium was found to be very quickly established. The cylindrical penetrometer technique promises to be a simple, quick and reliable static method for the measurement of yield stress.

A new microchip-based aggregometer that uses a stirring-aided disaggregation mechanism in a microchip was developed to measure red blood cell (RBC) aggregation in blood and RBC suspensions. Conventional methods of RBC disaggregation, such as the rotational Couette system, were replaced with a newly designed stirring-induced disaggregation mechanism. Using a stirrer in a microchip, the aggregated RBCs stored in a microchip can be easily disaggregated. With an abrupt halt of the stirring, the backscattered light intensity can be measured in a microchip with respect to time. The time recording of the backscattered light intensity (syllectogram) shows an exponential decreasing curve representing the RBC aggregation. By analyzing the syllectogram, aggregation indices such as AI and M were determined. The results showed excellent agreement with LORCA. The essential feature of this design is the incorporation of a disposable microchip and the stirring-induced disaggregation mechanism.
