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.
