We obtained the shear viscosity 7 and optical probe (67-nm polystyrene latex spheres) diffusion coefficient D in hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC)/water at temperatures T = 10,25, and 39 O C . Polymer samples had weight-average molar masses M of 139,146,415, and 1280 ma. Polymer Concentrations c ranged up to 40-100 g/L; 7 was as large as 1@-1@ CP in different systems. 7 has a stretched-experimental dependence on c at small c and power-law behavior at large c. D generally follows a stretched exponential DO exp(-ac') but is consistent with power-law behavior at large c. Individual spectra fit well to Williams-Watta forms A0 exp(-Ote). The dependence of a, v, 0, and @ on c, M, and Tis discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
