Viscometric Estimation of Hydrodynamical Parameters of the Cellulose Diacetate - Dimethylsulfoxide System

The viscometric properties of diluted solutions of cellulose diacetate in dimethylsulfoxide in a temperature range 25-65°С were studied. The concentration dependence of the reduced specific viscosity is linear. The limiting viscosity [η] value regularly decreases as temperature grows and the viscosity-average molecular weight of the polymer decreases. The Mark – Kuhn – Howink constants have been determined.

Вискозиметрические свойства растворов хитозана в уксусной кислоте и натрий-ацетатном буфере

The viscosity properties of diluted chitosan solutions in 2% and 70% acetic acid and sodium acetate buffer (1.9% CH3COOH + 1.6% СН3СООNа) within 25–70°C were studied. Concentra- tion dependences of the viscosity number were plotted. Intrinsic viscosities, Huggins’ constants and the temperature coefficients of viscosity were estimated. The intrinsic viscosity of solutions of this aminopolysaccharide in acetic acid has been found to be significantly higher than that in acetate buffer.
