AB - In order to understand (and ultimately to predict) the friction reduction resulting from the use of polymer solutions, the rheological properties of model polymer solutions have been measured over a wide range of shear rates. As well as temporary shear thinning, some permanent shear thinning of the higher molecular weight polystyrene solutions has been noted in the USV. Temporary viscosity loss has been observed for polyisoprene blend with a molecular weight of 82 000 g/mol and a polydispersity index of 1.07. The impacts of pure polymer concentration and molecular weight on permanent shear thinning are significant in the case of polystyrene solutions.
