Viscosity Curve Formation of Polymer Solutions with Varying Shear Rates

At 25ﾰC, the shear rate applied to a polymer solution experiences an exponential increase, spanning from 0.1 s-1 to 1000 s-1. This variation in shear rate significantly impacts the viscosity of the polymer solution. As the shear rate changes, the viscosity of the solution adjusts accordingly, ultimately resulting in the formation of a characteristic viscosity curve. This curve provides valuable insights into the flow behavior of the polymer solution under different shear conditions.
