P. Gonzaleztello et al., DENSITY AND VISCOSITY OF CONCENTRATED AQUEOUS-SOLUTIONS OF POLYETHYLENE-GLYCOL, Journal of chemical and engineering data, 39(3), 1994, pp. 611-614
The densities and viscosities of concentrated aqueous solutions of pol
yethylene glycol (10-50 mass %) have been measured. The polyethylene g
lycol samples had average molecular masses of 8000,3350, and 1000. The
values of the density from 277 to 298 K show a linear variation with
the polyethylene glycol concentration and differ, at most, by 10.07 %
from those of pure water at the same temperature. In order to estimate
the values of dynamic viscosity, an equation is proposed which takes
into account the influence of the polyethylene glycol concentration an
d the temperature in the range 277-313 K. The viscosity of mixtures of
polyethylene glycol + magnesium sulfate + water were also studied. A
linear relationship exists between the viscosities of the aqueous solu
tions of polyethylene glycol and the concentration of magnesium sulfat
