Abstract
The theological properties of 0.5 to 2.0% carboxymethycellulose (CMC) solutions were measured at 30-90 degrees C with a computer controlled rotational viscometer in a linearly increasing and decreasing three-cy cle shearing sequence. CMC solutions showed power-law flow behaviour a nd theological properties were significantly (P < 0.01) influenced by both temperature and concentration. An empirical model was developed t o relate the power-law parameters to both concentration and temperatur e.
