Abstract
AbstractIn this article, shear rheology of solutions of different concentrations obtained by dissolution of cellulose in the ionic liquid (IL) solvent 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium chloride ([Bmim]Cl) was studied by measuring the complex viscosity and dynamic moduli at different temperatures. The obtained viscosity curves were compared with those of lyocell solutions and melt blowing grade polypropylene melts of different melt flow rates (MFR). Master curves were generated for complex viscosity and dynamic moduli by using Carreau and Cross viscosity models to fit experimental data. From the Arrhenius plots of the shift factors with respect to temperature, the activation energies for shear flow were determined. These varied between 18.99 and 24.09 kCal/mol, and were compared with values for lyocell solutions and different polymeric melts, such as polyolefins, polystyrene, and polycarbonate. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
