The rheo-optics of shear thickening and structure formation in polymer solutions
Abstract
dc:descriptionSimultaneous measurements of the optical and rheological response of solutions of polystyrene have been made, in-situ, in order to ascertain the connection between structure formation and the phenomenon of shear-thickening. Transient and steady state measurements of the viscosity, dichroism, birefringence and associated orientation angles were carried out in decalin and bromobenzene in the semi-dilute region using a couette device capable of shear rates up to 8,000 s$\sp{-1}.$
