Rheological properties of aqueous polyacrylamide/NaCl solutions
Rheological properties of aqueous polyacrylamide-sodium chloride solutions are studied using RheoStress RS100. Polyacrylamide concentration was varied from 0.25 to 1.0% by weight, whereas sodium chloride ranged from 0.0 to 10 g L-1. This range of concentrations is suitable to study many of the polyacrylamide-sodium chloride rheological properties. Steady flow parameters, yield stress, thixotropic behavior, creep recovery, and dynamic tests are covered in this study.
