摘要
Rheology of isothermal suspensions of completely exfoliated silicate lamellae in polymer melts is investigated. In order to express more faithfully the physics involved in low shear rates and low frequencies, we model the polymer molecules composing the melt as chains whose motion is confined to a tube formed by surrounding chains and lamellae. In the absence of lamellae, the model reduces to the mesoscopic model of reptating chains developed in Eslami and Grmela (Rheol Acta, 2008). If the chains are seen only as FENE-P dumbbells, the model reduces to the model developed in Eslami et al. (J Rheol 51:1189-1222, 2007). Responses to oscillatory, transient, and steady shear flows are calculated and compared with available experimental data. Particular attention is payed to the region of low shear rate and low frequency.
