In the present work, atomization characteristics of shear-thinning liquid slurry discharging from fan spray nozzles were studied experimentally for spray painting applications. The effects of solid particle size and concentration on the properties (especially on the viscosity) of suspensions and mean drop size were examined by using model fluids. In the range of low particle concentration (below 3 wt%), the fluid viscosity was primarily determined by the particle size. On the other hand, in the range of high particle concentration (higher than 10 wt%), the agglomeration phenomenon and the oil absorption capability of solid particles played major roles in determining the fluid viscosity. In the high concentration region, which most of the paints belong to, the fluid became more viscous and the shear thinning behavior appeared more prominent as the particle concentration was increased. In this region, mean drop size(SMD) decreased more rapidly with the increase of the injection pressure. Also, SMD became larger with the higher particle concentration and the larger particle size.

폴리카보네이트(polycarbonate, PC)에 화학적 구조가 다른 두 가지의 분지제를 첨가하여 용융중합으로 분지형 폴리카보네이트(branched PC, B-PC)를 합성하였다. 분지제의 함량은 0.001~0.005 mol% 내에서 조절하였다. 합성된 PC의 화학구조는 FTIR, $^1H$ NMR파 $^{13}C$ NMR 스펙트럼을 이용하여 확인하였으며, 분자량, 유리전이온도 및 분해온도는 GPC, DSC와 TGA를 이용하여 측정하였다. Phloro type의 분지제를 가지는 B-PC의 분자량에 낮은 값을 보여주었으며, 유리전이온도는 분자량에 따라 증가하였다. 두 형태의 B-PC 모두 선형 PC와 비교하였을 때 낮은 주파수(frequency) 영역에서 복합점도(complex viscosity)가 높게 나타났고, shear thinning 현상이 크게 나타났다. Shear thinning의 정도를 표시하는 power law index(n)는 선형회귀분석에 의해 계산되었고 0.483~0.996 범위의 값을 보여주었다. Phloro 타입의 B-PC가 높은 shear thinning 경향을 보였으며 이들 B-PC의 유변학적 특성은 동적유변측정기를 이용하여 측정하였다.

Elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) film is measured under the condition of viscosity index improver added to base oil. In-situ optical contact method using the interference principle make the measuring resolution of ~5 nm possible and enables the measuring range all over the contact area of up to ~300 $\mu\textrm{m}$ diameter. What is more important to the developed method by the author is that the measurement of EHL film thickness is possible in the range from 100 nm to 2 $\mu\textrm{m}$, which is the regime of worst contact failures in precision machinery. Viscosity index improver (VII) is one of the major additives to the modem multigrade lubricants for the viscosity stability against temperature rise. However, it causes shear thinning effects which make the film thickness lessened very delicately at high shear rate (over $10^5 s^{-1}$) of general EHL contact regime. In order to exactly verify the VIIs performance of viscosity stability at such high shear rate, it is necessary to make the measurement of EHL film thickness down to ~100 nm with fine resolution for the preliminary study of viscosity control. In this work, EHL film thickness of VII added lubricant is measured with the resolution of ~5 nm, which will give very informative design tool for the synthesis of lubricants regarding the matter of load carrying capacity at high shear rate condition.

In aqueous alumina tape casting, the effects of altering the composition of the suspensions, the binders and the casting thickness were studied. The rheological behavior of the suspensions and the defects of the dried tapes were examined and the relationships between them are discussed. The changes in the defect regions reported in the previous paper were related with the rheological properties with variations of the binder, the composition and the casting thickness. The shear thinning factor increased with the organic content and the solid content (the decrease of water content). The apparent viscosity increased with the shear thinning factor. The relation between the shear thinning factor and the log apparent viscosity was similar for all binder types. In the relation between the defect free region and the rheological properties, the defect free region became narrower with increasing casting thickness. The defect free region is independent of binder type. Therefore, the thicker tape is more difficult to produce in aqueous alumina tape casting. Knowledge of the rheological properties of the suspensions could help Predict the defect type and the possibility of defect free dried tapes.

This study presents results on the numerical simulation of Newtonian and non-Newtonian flow in a channel obstructed by an asymmetric array of obstacles for clarifying the descriptive ability of current non-Newtonian constitutive equations. Jones and Walters (1989) have performed the corresponding experiment that clearly demonstrates the characteristic difference among the flow patterns of the various liquids. In order to appropriately account for flow properties, the Navier-Stokes, the Carreau viscous and the Leonov equations are employed for Newtonian, shear thinning and extension hardening liquids, respectively. Making use of the tensor-logarithmic formulation of the Leonov model in the computational scheme, we have obtained stable solutions up to relatively high Deborah numbers. The peculiar characteristics of the non-Newtonian liquids such as shear thinning and extension hardening seem to be properly illustrated by the flow modeling. In our opinion, the results show the possibility of current constitutive modeling to appropriately describe non-Newtonian flow phenomena at least qualitatively, even though the model parameters specified for the current computation do not precisely represent material characteristics.

The drop formation dynamics of a shear thinning, elastic, yield stress ($\tau_o$) fluid (Carbopol 980 (poly(acrylic acid)) dispersions) in silicone oil has been investigated in a flow-focusing microfluidic channel. The rheological character of each solution investigated varied from Netwonian-like through to highly non-Newtonian and was varied by changing the degree of neutralization along the poly (acrylic acid) backbone. We have observed that the drop size of these non-Newtonian fluids (regardless of the degree of neutralisation) showed bimodal behaviour. At first we observed increases in drop size with increasing viscosity ratio (viscosity ratio=viscosity of dispersed phase (DP)/viscosity of continuous phase (CP)) at low flowrates of the continuous phases, and thereafter, decreasing drop sizes as the flow rate of the CP increases past a critical value. Only at the onset of pinching and during the high extensional deformation during pinch-off of a drop are any differences in the non-Newtonian characteristics of these fluids, that is extents of shear thinning, elasticity and yield stress ($\tau_o$), apparent. Changes in these break-off dynamics resulted in the observed differences in the number and size distribution of secondary drops during pinch-off for both fluid classes, Newtonian-like and non-Newtonian fluids. In the case of the Newtonian-like drops, a secondary drop was generated by the onset of necking and breakup at both ends of the filament, akin to end-pinching behavior. This pinch-off behavior was observed to be unaffected by changes in viscosity ratio, over the range explored. Meanwhile, in the case of the non-Newtonian solutions, discrete differences in behaviour were observed, believed to be attributable to each of the non-Newtonian properties of shear thinning, elasticity and yield stress. The presence of a yield stress ($\tau_o$), when coupled with slow flow rates or low viscosities of the CP, reduced the drop size compared to the Newtonian-like Carbopol dispersions of much lower viscosity. The presence of shear thinning resulted in a rapid necking event post onset, a decrease in primary droplet size and, in some cases, an increase in the rate of drop production. The presence of elasticity during the extensional flow imposed by the necking event allowed for the extended maintenance of the filament, as observed previously for dilute solutions of linear polymers during drop break-up.

1.0 wt% 소수성실리카를 안정제로 하는 현탁중합에 의하여 $75^{\circ}C$에서 개시제의 농도를 변화하며 합성한 폴리스티렌 (PS) 및 폴리뷰틸메타크릴레이트 (PBMA) 입자의 점도를 모세관 레오미터 (capillary rheometer)를 이용하여 측정하였다. 중량평균분자량이 66,500 g/mol인 PS 입자는 $190^{\circ}C$에서 측정한 경우 낮은 전단속도에서는 뉴톤 (Newtonian) 거동을 나타내었다. PS 입자의 경우 분자량이 증가할수록 전단속도 전 영역에서 전단 묽어짐 (shear thinning) 거동을 보였다. PBMA 입자는 $170^{\circ}C$에서 점도를 측정하였으며 중량평균분자량이 156,700 g/mol 인 경우 낮은 전단속도에서만 뉴톤 거동을 나타내었다. 분자량의 증가에 따라 전단 묽어짐 거동이 관찰되었으며, 이러한 변화의 형태는 PS 입자와 유사하였다. 카본블랙을 충전제로 합성한 고분자 복합체 입자의 전단점도는 PS 및 PBMA 둘 다 $170^{\circ}C$에서 측정하였다. PS 및 PBMA 복합체 입자의 점도변화는 카본블랙의 증가에 따라 점진적으로 증가하였으나, 충전제의 증가에 따른 점도의 증가는 분자량의 증가 효과에 비교하여 미약하였다. 내부혼합기를 이용하여 제조한 카본블랙을 함유하는 PS 복합체의 점도변화는 현탁중합법으로 합성한 카본블랙을 함유하는 PS 복합체 입자의 점도변화에 비하여 작았으며 이는 향상된 분산으로 인하여 발생한 것으로 추정된다. 이 실험에서 선택한 분자량 및 카본블랙의 농도에서 yield 거동은 관찰되지 않았다.

본 연구에서는 Rheometrics Fluids Spectrometer(RFS II)를 사용하여 세 종류의 상용 반고형 식품(마요네즈, 토마토 케찹, 와사비)의 정상유동특성 및 소진폭 전단변형하에서의 동적 점탄성을 광범위한 전단속도와 각주파수 영역에서 측정하였다. 이들 측정결과로부터 정상유동특성의 전단속도 의존성 및 동적 점탄성의 각주파수 의존성을 보고하였다. 그리고 항복응력의 항을 갖는 몇 가지 점소성 유동모델을 사용하여 정상유동특성을 정량적으로 평가하고 이들 모델의 적용성을 비교.검증하였다. 나아가서 수정된 형태의 지수법칙 관계식을 도입하여 정상유동특성(비선형 거동)과 동적 점탄성(선형 거동)간의 상관관계에 대해 검토하였다. 이상의 연구를 통해 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. (1) 반고형 식품류는 상당한 크기의 항복응력을 갖는 점소성 물질로서 전단속도가 증가할수록 정상류점도가 급격히 감소하는 shear-thinning 거동을 나타낸다. (2) Herschel-Bulkley 모델, Mizrahi-Berk 모델 및 Heinz-Casson 모델은 반고형 식품류의 정상유동거동을 잘 기술할 수 있다. 이들 중에서도 Heinz-Casson 모델이 가장 우수한 적용성을 갖는다 (3) 반고형 식품류는 임계 전단속도를 경계로 shear-thinning 특성이 변화한다. 즉 낮은 전단속도에 비해 높은 전단속도 영역에서 분산입자 응집체의 구조파괴가 더욱 활발하게 진행되어 보다 현저한 shear-thinning 특성을 나타낸다. (4) 저장 탄성률 및 손실탄성률은 양자 모두 각주파수가 증가할수록 점차로 증가하나 각주파수 의존성은 그다지 크지 않다. 또한 광범위한 각주파수 영역에서 탄성적 성질이 점성적 성질에 비해 보다 우세하게 나타난다. (5) 정상류점도, 동적점도 및 복소점도는 모두 power-law 모델의 거동을 잘 만족한다. 또한 정상유동특성과 동적 점탄성간의 상관관계는 수정된 형태의 지수법칙 관계식에 의해 잘 기술될 수 있다.

격자 볼츠만 기법(Lattice Boltzmann method)을 사용하여 에멀전의 유변학적 특성을 파악하기 위한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 간단한 전단 유동하에서 온도와 전단속도, 계면장력에 변화를 주어 에멀전(decane-in-water)의 상대점도를 계산하고 이를 분석하였다. 에멀전의 상대점도는 온도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였고, 전단속도가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 전단박하(Shear thinning) 현상을 보여주었다. 이는 크로스 모델(Cross model)을 통해 검증하였고 일치하는 경향을 보여주었다. 계면에 존재하는 계면활성제(Surfactant)를 통해 제어되는 계면장력이 증가할수록 상대점도는 감소하는 경향을 보여주었다. 이것은 큰 계면장력에서는 기름방울의 변형이 억제되고 점도가 상대적으로 높은 기름방울의 표면적이 감소하면서 나타난다고 해석할 수 있다.

As a macromolecule material, melted rubber flow shows characteristics of shear thinning fluid. The dynamic viscosity of this rubber fluid is influenced by temperature and shear strain rate. In this study, the numerical simulation of rubber extrusion forming process has been performed using commercial CFD code, Polyflow. Power-law model considering the effect of shear rate is used for the computer simulation of this non-Newyonian flow. Also Non-isothermal behavior is considered as Arrhenius-law model. Distributions of velocity and temperature are predicted through the simulation.
