ƒ Rheology is the science of flow and deformation
of matter
ƒ The word ‘Rheology’ was coined in the 1920s by
Professor E C Bingham at Lafayette College in Indiana
ƒ Flow is a special case of deformation
ƒ The relationship between stress and deformation
is a property of the material

ƒ Rheometer – an instrument that measures both viscosity and
viscoelasticity of fluids, semi-solids and solids
ƒ It can provide information about the material’s:
ƒ Viscosity - defined as a material’s resistance to deformation and
is a function of shear rate or stress, with time and temperature
dependence
ƒ Viscoelasticity – is a property of a material that exhibits both
viscous and elastic character. Measurements of G’, G”, tan δ with
respect to time, temperature, frequency and stress/strain are
important for characterization.
ƒ A Rheometer works simply by relating a materials property from how hard it’s
being pushed, to how far it moves
ƒ by commanding torque (stress) and measuring angular displacement (strain)

From the definition of rheology,
the science of flow and deformation of matter
or
the study of stress (Force / Area) – deformation
(Strain or Strain rate) relationships.
Fundamentally a rotational rheometer will apply or
measure:
1. Torque (Force)
2. Angular Displacement
3. Angular Velocity

If the deformation is small, or applied sufficiently slowly,
the molecular arrangements are never far from
equilibrium.
The mechanical response is then just a reflection of
dynamic processes at the molecular level which go on
constantly, even for a system at equilibrium.
This is the domain of LINEAR VISCOELASTICITY.
The magnitudes of stress and strain are related
linearly, and the behavior for any liquid is completely
described by a single function of time.

ƒ ARES-G2 has a separate motor and transducer
design.
ƒ In an ARES-G2, the motor applies the deformation
independent of the torque measurement on the transducer.
ƒ The moment of inertia required to move the motor is
decoupled from the torque measurements.
ƒ This means the motor inertia does not contribute to the test
results.
ƒ Benefits of ARES-G2:
ƒ System inertia free
ƒ Capable of running low viscosity samples up to high
frequency

rheometers as they challenge all instrument specifications both high

ƒ The change in modulus as a sample cures can be as large as 7-8
decades and change can occur very rapidly.
ƒ AR, DHR, and ARES instruments have ways of trying to cope with
such large swings in modulus

• The ringing oscillations can be rather short-lived and may not be apparent unless using log time scale.
• The sudden acceleration, together with the measurement system’s inertia, causes a strain overshoot. For
viscoelastic materials, this can result in viscoelastic ringing, where the material undergoes a damped
oscillation just like a bowl of Jell-o when bumped.

ƒ Relation to material structure: non linear elongation
flow is more sensitive for some structure elements
than shear flows (branching, polymer architecture)
ƒ Testing of constitutive equations: elongation results in
addition to shear data provide a more general picture

• The process of viscosity increasing takes place in two
stages: the gelation process (frequency independent) and
vitrification (related to the network Tg relative to cure
temperature and is frequency dependent).
• When you look at an isothermal cure at a constant
frequency the modulus crossover point has both the
information of gelation and vitrification.
ƒ To avoid this, run multiple isothermal runs at different
frequencies and plot the cross over in tan delta. This is the
frequency independent gel point.
‹ Alternatively, use a single mutliwave test

Why modify the yield behavior?
ƒ to avoid sedimentation and increase the shelf live
ƒ to reduce flow under gravity
ƒ to stabilize a fluid against vibration
LHOG6WUHVV
ƒStructured fluids exhibit yield-like behavior, changing from ‘solid-like’ to
readily flowing fluid when a critical stress is exceeded. Rheological
modifiers are often used to control the yield behavior of fluids.
ƒThere are multiple methods to measure Yield stress. The apparent
yield stress measured is not a single value, as it will vary depending
on experimental conditions.
TAINSTRUMENTS.COM
TAINSTRUMENTS.COM
LHOG6WUHVVLQD)ORZ6WUHVV5DPS
ƒ Stress is ramped linearly from 0 to a value above Yield Stress and the stress at
viscosity maximum can be recorded as Yield Stress
ƒ The measured yield value will depend on the rate at which the stress is increased.
The faster the rate of stress increase, the higher the measured yield value

ƒ Eliminates start-up effects for

ƒ Initial high shear rate acts as a

ƒ Steady State sensing allows the

ƒ The plateau in shear stress is a
measure of the yield stress.
ƒ At the plateau, Viscosity vs.
Shear Rate will have a slope of -1
slope: -0.995

reversible structure changes in complex fluids. The
control of thixotropy is important to control:
ƒ process conditions for example to avoid structure build up in pipes
at low pumping rates i.e. rest periods, etc....

ƒThe non-sagging formula (with additive) has both a shorter recovery
time and a higher final recovered viscosity (or storage modulus), and
the recovery parameter takes both of these into account to predict
significantly better sag resistance.
ƒThe ratio η(∞) /t, is the recovery parameter (a true thixotropic index),
and has been found to correlate well to thixotropy-related properties
such as sag resistance and air entrainment.

log Frequency Temperature
ƒ Linear viscoelastic properties are both time-dependent and
temperature-dependent
ƒ Some materials show a time dependence that is proportional to the
temperature dependence
ƒ Decreasing temperature has the same effect on viscoelastic
properties as increasing the frequency
ƒ For such materials, changes in temperature can be used to “re-scale”
time, and predict behavior over time scales not easily measured

ƒ TTS can be used to extend the frequency beyond the
instrument’s range
ƒ Creep TTS or Stress Relaxation TTS can predict
behavior over longer times than can be practically
measured
ƒ Can be applied to amorphous, non modified polymers
ƒ Material must be thermo-rheological simple
ƒ One in which all relaxations times shift with the same shift factor aT

ƒ If crystallinity is present, especially if any melting
occurs in the temperature range of interest
ƒ The structure changes with temperature
ƒ Cross linking, decomposition, etc.
ƒ Material is a block copolymer (TTS may work within a limited
temperature range)
ƒ Material is a composite of different polymers
ƒ Viscoelastic mechanisms other than configuration changes of the
polymer backbone
ƒ e.g. side-group motions, especially near the Tg
ƒ Dilute polymer solutions
ƒ Dispersions (wide frequency range)
ƒ Sol-gel transition

ƒ Decide first on the Reference Temperature: T0. What is the
use temperature?
ƒ If you want to obtain information at higher frequencies or
shorter times, you will need to conduct frequency (stress
relaxation or creep) scans at temperatures lower than T0.
ƒ If you want to obtain information at lower frequencies or
longer times, you will need to test at temperatures higher
than T0.
ƒ Good idea to scan material over temperature range at
single frequency to get an idea of modulus-temperature
and transition behavior.

ƒ Master Curves can be generated using shift factors
derived from the Williams, Landel, Ferry (WLF)
equation
log aT= -c1(T-T0)/c2+(T-T0)
ƒ aT = temperature shift factor
ƒ T0 = reference temperature
ƒ c1 and c2 = constants from curve fitting
ƒ Generally, c1=17.44  c2=51.6 when T0 = Tg

ƒ Sometimes you shouldn’t use the WLF equation (even if it
appears to work)
ƒ If T  Tg+100°
C
ƒ If T  Tg and polymer is not elastomeric
ƒ If temperature range is small, then c1  c2 cannot be calculated
precisely
ƒ In these cases, the Arrhenius form is usually better
ln aT = (Ea/R)(1/T-1/T0)
ƒ aT = temperature shift factor
ƒ Ea = Apparent activation energy
ƒ T0 = reference temperature
ƒ T = absolute temperature
ƒ R = gas constant
ƒ Ea = activation energy
