Summary of Practice4.1 General procedures are given for the determination ofthe dilute solution viscosity of polymers, including descrip-tio

21、ns of apparatus, reagents and materials, and sample prepa-ration, as well as measurement procedures and calculations.4.2 If detailed test methods are available for the polymers ofinterest, such as those mentioned in 1.1, this practice providesinformation of a general nature to augment the detailedtr

22、eatments in the relevant test methods.5. Significance and Use5.1 The determination of dilute solution viscosity providesone item of information towards the molecular characterizationof polymers. When viscosity data are used in conjunction withother molecular parameters, the properties of polymers de

23、-pending on their molecular structure may be predicted.5.2 Viscosity is dependent on molecular weight distribution,so with certain restrictions, satisfactory correlations can beobtained between dilute-solution viscosity and molecular pa-rameters such as molecular weight or chain length. The mostlimi

24、ting restrictions that must be observed are as follows:5.2.1 It must be known that the polymers used to establishthe correlations and those to which they are applied do notconsist of or contain branched species. Basically a measure ofmolecular size and not molecular weight, the dilute solutionviscos

25、ity can be correlated appropriately with molecularweight or chain length only if there is a unique relationshipbetween the mass and the size of the dissolved polymermolecules. This is the case for linear, but not for mostbranched, polymers.5.2.2 For reasons similar to those outlined in 5.2.1, it mus

26、tbe required that the polymers to which the correlations areapplied have the same chemical composition as those used inestablishing the relationships.5.3 For polymers meeting the restrictions of 5.2, empiricalrelationships can be developed between the dilute solutionviscosity of a polymer and its hy

27、drodynamic volume oraverage chain dimension (radius of gyration or end-to-enddistance). Such relationships depend upon any variables influ-encing this molecular size of the dissolved polymer. The mostimportant of these variables are solvent type and temperature.Thus, the solution viscosity of a give

28、n polymer specimendepends on the choice of these variables, and they must alwaysbe specified with the viscosity for complete identification.5.4 The solution viscosity of a polymer of sufficiently highmolecular weight may depend on rate of shear in the viscom-eter, and the viscosity of a polyelectrol

29、yte (polymer containingionizable chemical groupings) will depend on the compositionand ionic strength of the solvent. Special precautions beyondthe scope of this practice are required when measuring suchpolymers.5.5 Finally, the viscosity of polymer solutions may beaffected drastically by the presen

30、ce of recognized or unrecog-nized additives in the sample, including but not limited tocolorants, fillers, or low-molecular-weight species.6. Apparatus6.1 Volumetric Flasks,6100-mL or other size found conve-nient.6.2 Transfer Pipets,6sizes between 1 and 25 mL, as re-quired. Transfer pipets for use w

31、ith polymer solutions shouldhave about 2 mm cut from their lower tips to permit more rapidtransfer of the solution to the viscometer.6.3 Constant-Temperature Bath, capable of maintaining60.01C at the desired temperature (usually between 25 and150C). Less stringent temperature control (60.02C) is sat

32、is-factory upon demonstration that the precision of results is notaffected.6.4 Viscometer, glass capillary type, as described in Speci-fications D 446. Efflux time for the solvent and temperatureused shall be greater than 200 s (except that efflux time forsemimicro viscometers shall be greater than

33、80 s), to eliminatethe need for kinetic energy corrections.6.4.1 Two types of viscometers are commonly used: One isa constant-volume device of simple construction, recom-mended for use where solution viscosity is to be measured at asingle concentration, as for determination of the reducedviscosity (

34、viscosity number) or inherent viscosity (logarithmicviscosity number). It may also serve for the determination ofthe intrinsic viscosity (limiting viscosity number) throughmeasurement of several solutions having different concentra-tions.6.4.2 The second type viscometer, commonly called adilution vi

35、scometer, is a time-saving device for the determina-tion of intrinsic viscosity (limiting viscosity number) since itdoes not require constant liquid volume for operation. Severalconcentrations of a polymer solution can be tested by adding aknown quantity of the solvent at the test temperature direct

The viscosity of the pure solventmust be measured separately.6.4.3 An alt

37、ernative procedure is to start with the minimumvolume of the pure solvent, then add aliquots of a concentratedstock solution to the viscometer to obtain values of the relativeviscosity (viscosity ratio) at successively higher concentra-tions. The choice of procedures is dictated by the range ofvolum

38、es with which the viscometer will operate and the rangeof concentrations desired for test.6.5 Timer, graduated in divisions of 0.1 s or less, asdescribed in Test Method D 445.6.6 Thermometer, suitable for the specified test temperatureand conforming to the specifications of Specification E1,Kinemati

Reagents and Materials7.1 Solvents, as required, or as recommended in AppendixX1.7.2 Heat Transfer Liquid, for constant temperature bath.NOTE 2The following

40、materials have been used as heat-transferliquids: (1) silicone oil,8(2) mineral oil, (3) peanut oil, (4) water, and (5)water-miscible liquid, such as glycerin or ethylene glycol. The materialselected must not discolor or smoke on prolonged exposure at the testtemperature; in some cases discoloring m

41、ay be inhibited by the use of anantioxidant. The use of water or a water-miscible liquid facilitatescleaning glassware used in the test.7.3 Nitrogen, for purging.8. Sample Preparation8.1 Do not predry or condition the sample unless thematerial is known to be hygroscopic.8.2 If it is known that the s

42、ample dissolves only slowly inthe selected solvent, pretreating the sample to reduce itsparticle size may be advisable.NOTE 3Some samples can be pulverized conveniently in a rotarycutting mill with a 20-mesh screen at the outlet of its pulverizingchamber.9NOTE 4Caution: Take care to avoid overheatin

43、g the sample duringpulverization, which might lead to thermal degradation. Low-meltingpolymers, or hard, tough samples, often can be satisfactorily pulverizedonly at very low temperature as provided by dry ice or liquid nitrogen.9. Procedure9.1 Weigh an appropriate sample into a tared 100-mLvolumetr

44、ic flask (or weigh and transfer quantitatively to theflask). If the sample is known to oxidize easily in thesubsequent dissolution step, the flask may be purged withnitrogen.NOTE 5Solution concentrations for some common polymers arerecommended inAppendix X1. Since other sizes of volumetric flasks ma

45、ybe used, depending on the viscometer size and the amount of sampleavailable, adjust sample weights and the solvent and solution volumesaccordingly.NOTE 6For greater reliability of results, select the sample size on thebasis of experiment to give a relative viscosity (viscosity ratio) near 1.5.If se

46、veral concentrations of a solution of a single sample are to be used(Note 8), select them so that the relative viscosity (viscosity ratio) falls inthe range from 1.2 to 2.0.NOTE 7Preparation of a single solution may often suffice, either fordetermining the relative viscosity (viscosity ratio) or inh

47、erent viscosity(logarithmic viscosity number), or as a stock solution for use in a dilutionviscometer to determine the intrinsic viscosity (limiting viscosity num-ber). If more than one solution concentration is desired, weigh a series ofspecimens (often four) into separate flasks, selecting specime

48、n weights togive the desired solution concentration.9.2 Add approximately 50 cm3of solvent to each specimenflask, purge with nitrogen if necessary, and shake on alaboratory shaker. Elevated temperature may enhance thesolution rate as suggested inAppendix X1, Practice D 5226,orspecific test methods,

49、but this approach should be used withcaution. Some polymers and solvents have limited high-temperature stability. If solution preparation requires an el-evated temperature, subject a flask of pure solvent to the sameconditions as the polymer solution.NOTE 8Caution: Complete solution of all of the specimen is essen-tial. When solution appears complete, examine the flask with care to besure that no undissolved material, gel particles, or foreign matter ispresent.9.3 Place the volumetric flasks containing the solution(s)and the pure solvent in the c
