Modeling Polysiloxane Volume and Viscosity Variations With Molecular Structure and Thermodynamic State
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Siloxanebased polymers (polysiloxanes) exhibit a range of volume, viscosity, and pressureviscosity behaviors that are strongly influenced by the macromolecular structure. In this report, a combination of extant rheological ...
Correlation of Polysiloxane Molecular Structure to Shear Thinning Power Law Exponent Using Elastohydrodynamic Film Thickness Measurements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Siloxanebased polymers (polysiloxanes) are susceptible to temporary shearthinning that manifests as a reduction of elastohydrodynamic film thickness with increasing entrainment speed or effective shear rate. The departure ...
