Here, we explore the rheological behavior of a bidisperse suspension made of magnetic-carbonyl iron (CI) and non-magnetic-calcium carbonate (CC) particles with a brush-like coating of the same superplasticizer molecule. We highlight the synergetic effect of non-magnetic particles whose inclusion in the percolated frictional network amplifies the effect of the magnetic field on the remaining fraction of magnetic particles. In plate-plate geometry, a small fraction of ferromagnetic particles (about 5%) is sufficient to trigger the transition by the application of a magnetic field and optimum for the increase of viscosity.

Our observations suggest that this stress threshold is a chain architecture-dependent property characteristic of entangled polymers. Converging flow methods are used to analyze the excess pressure losses to predict the uniaxial extensional viscosity. As the temperature is increased, the progressive shift of the kink to higher strain rates seen in the flow curves can be captured by a proposed Trouton ratio model, where the characteristic time of the fluid is assumed to follow the empirical William–Landel–Ferry (WLF) equation. Experimental pressure drops in converging flows for Weissenberg numbers up to about 10<sup>5</sup> are used to evaluate predictions of an extended generalized Newtonian fluid (GNF-X) model, where a weighted viscosity for mixed flows has recently been derived and a weighting function classifies flows intermediate between shear and shearfree flows.

Also, the experimental plug core velocity was compared with the analytical value obtained by the rotational rheometer tests to calculate an equivalent slip velocity, and such velocity depicts a quasi-linear trend with the wall shear stress.

The friction reduction mechanism induced by the stretch and orientation (SORF) is important to predict the viscoelasticity under uniaxial elongational flows. To test the applicability of this mechanism for bidisperse systems, we incorporated an expression of friction reduction (Yaoita et al. <i>Macromolecules</i> 45:2773–2782 2012) into the Doi-Takimoto slip-link model (DT model) (Doi and Takimoto <i>Philos Trans R Soc Lond A</i> 361:641–652 2003). For six experimental bidisperse systems, i.e., four polystyrene blends and two polyisoprene blends, the extended DT model where the order parameter of the friction reduction mechanism is evaluated through the component averages succeeds in reproducing the data under uniaxial elongation and shear. This success is due to the suppression of the stretch of the longer chains using the statistical average over each component. Through this study, the SORF expression improves the rheological prediction for bidisperse entangled polymer melts under uniaxial elongational flows with strain rates comparable to or larger than the inverse of the Rouse relaxation time of the longer chains. Additionally, the predictions with the SORF using the component average for the stretches reproduce the steady viscosities because under elongational flows, the states of the components with different molecular weights clearly differ from each other depending on their Rouse relaxation time. The finding means that for chain dynamics, the friction coefficient is determined by the state of the surrounding polymer chains and the state of the chain.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":755,"journal":{"name":"Rheologica Acta","volume":"62 1","pages":"57 - 70"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00397-022-01378-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4600729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
