Abstract
Rheological properties have been measured for aqueous solutions of dextran, polyethylene glycol and bovine serum albumin. Mixtures of these materials have also been studied. A rotating concentric cylinder viscometer was used to study the rheological properties of these materials over the temperature range 10 to 40°C. Over the range of concentrations, molecular weights, temperature and shear rates covered in this work, all aqueous solutions exhibited Newtonian behaviour. Correlations have been reported for viscosities of dextran, polyethylene glycol, and bovine serum albumin. The viscosity of mixtures of these materials is not linear with respect to concentration.
