Abstract
We aimed to elucidate the effect of shear-enhanced concentration fluctuations and/or shear-induced structure formation under simple shear flow on the steady-state viscoelastic properties of the entangled polymer solutions. In order to compare the viscoelastic behaviors having shear-induced concentration fluctuations and/or phase separation and those of homogeneous state in steady state, we calculated the shear stress and the normal stress differences by using K-BKZ type constitutive equation as those in homogeneous state. We found that the contribution of shear-enhanced concentration fluctuations is surprisingly small though the amplitude of the concentration fluctuations in the solution is large.
