Rheology Quiz

	
		- What effect does 
		broadening the molecular weight distribution and increasing the 
		molecular weigh have on the viscosity curve?
- If given two polymers of 
		the same molecular weight and only a melt indexer, how would you 
		determine which polymer had the broader molecular weight distribution?
- Plot both the shear 
		viscosity and elongational viscosity of a polymer.  If the polymer is 
		Newtonian, what is the relationship between the two?
- How is the viscosity of 
		a polymer corrected for changes in temperature?
- Describe a laboratory 
		technique for determining the consistency and power law constant for a 
		polymer.
