Abstract
The objective of the current paper
was to define a rheological method for the
study of the solvent/binder affinity. The
adopted strategy involves the study of the
intrinsic viscosity [η] of polymer solutions.
[η] was estimated via an extrapolation
procedure using the Huggins and Kramer
equations.
The effects of chemical structure and
molecular weight on the polymer/solvent
affinity were investigated. Rheological
properties of Ethyl Cellulose (EC),
Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB) and Polyvinyl
Acetal (PVAc) resins in a solution of a high
boiling point glycol ether solvent were
explored and compared. The intrinsic
viscosity and the Mark-Houwink shape
parameter were estimated for the three
polymers and used as criteria for estimating
the polymer/solvent affinity.
