THE RHEOLOGY AND APPLICATION CHARACTERISTICS OF THIXOTROPIC COATINGS

THE RHEOLOGY OF THIXOTROPIC COATINGS IS INVESTIGATED USING A NARROW GAP WIDTH CONCENTRIC CYLINDER VISCOMETER EQUIPPED WITH AN ELECTRONIC RECORDER. STRESS DECAY AND RECOVERY EXPERIMENTS AT CONSTANT SHEAR RATES ARE USED TO DEFINE THE TIME DEPENDENT RHEOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR. A MODIFIED THIXOTROPIC LOOP METHOD IS PROPOSED TO APPROXIMATELY DEFINE THE THIXOTROPIC BEHAVIOR OF THE SAMPLES INVESTIGATED. BOTH LOW AND HIGH SHEAR RATE MEASUREMENTS ARE SHOWN TO BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO PREDICT APPLICATION CHARACTERISTICS. /AUTHOR/
