The rheological curves all of the blends reflected non-Newtonian type of polymer flow in the melt that followed to the power law behavior. The numerical magnitude of the shear viscosity of all the blends copolymerpolysaccharide was similar indicating that it is typical for synthetic polymers melts. With increasing starch or chitosan content in polymer blends the shear viscosity and activation energy of viscous flow increased, melt fluidity decreased. The melts submitted to a principle of the temperature-concentration invariancy that let to predict the rheological behavior of the systems containing synthetic copolymers and starch or chitosan as a biodegradable component.
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.
