The viscosity of an exocellular polysaccharide (EPS) produced by the bacterium Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris B40 was studied in aqueous solution at an ionic strength of 0.10M. First, the zero-shear viscosity was determined as a function of the concentration. From the data in the low concentrati

A detailed rheological study of cellulose nitrate in ethylacetate had been carried out in the dilute concentration (c) regime, covering a degree of polymerization (DP) range between 300 < DPq < 7000 and shear rates ( q ) between 100 s-l < 7 < 2000 s-'. The results show a strong dependence of the tra
A method is suggested for calculating stresses in sheared polymeric liquids. It synthesizes Kirkwood's correlation function techniques and Fixman's formulation for the stress tensor P. The dependence of P on powers of solute concentration, in the concentrated solution range, arises from a considerat
