Polymer Solution Viscosity

Polymer viscosity refers to the viscosity of polymers (such as polymer materials), usually expressed in Pascal seconds (Pa · s) or Newton seconds per square meter (Ns/m ²). Polymer viscosity is usually affected by factors such as molecular weight, concentration, solvent and temperature. The measurement of polymer viscosity is important for the preparation and application of polymer solutions, coatings, resins and polymer materials, as it affects their processing performance and final performance characteristics.

Polymer Solution Viscosity Testing instrument

Polymer viscosity refers to the viscosity of the polymer solution or melt, usually related to the molecular weight and concentration of the polymer. Testing of polymer viscosity involves the use of a Viscometer or Rheometer to measure the viscosity of the polymer solution or melt at different shear rates or temperatures to evaluate its flow characteristics.

Polymer Solution Viscosity Testing Solutions
Viscosity testing of polymer solutions is one of the important experiments in polymer material research and engineering applications. Measurements can usually be made using different types of viscometers such as rotary viscometers or drum viscometers.
Solvent Coatings
Solvent volatile type Coating In order to obtain a satisfactory performance film, the molecular weight of thermoplastic polymers is usually very high. To achieve the solution viscosity required for construction, it is necessary to add the largest organic solvent. The organic solvent evaporates into the air after film formation, which not only causes air pollution, but also wastes the most resources
