Vv. Leiko et al., RHEOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SUSPENSIONS OF BARIUM-TITANATE IN SOLUTIONS OF BUTADIENE-NITRILE RUBBER, Colloid journal of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 57(3), 1995, pp. 338-341
The viscosity of butadiene-nitrile rubber solutions in butyl acetate a
nd acetone was studied. Conformational and structural changes in polym
er solutions were revealed. The effect of a force field imposed by dis
persed particles of a filler (barium titanate) on the structurization
in polymer solutions was studied. Based on calculations of the thickne
ss of the polymer layer adsorbed on the surface of filler particles, a
nonmonotonic pattern of structure-related variations in thickness of
the adsorbed layers was established.
