Rheological Properties of PAN and Silk Fibroin in Aqueous NaSCN Solutions

Article Preview

Abstract:

The rheological properties of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and silk fibroin (SF) in the aqueous NaSCN Solutions were investigated in this study. The results show that the solutions possessed slightly pseudo-plastic solution properties. Their apparent viscosity increased with the increasing total polymer concentration, whereas all of these decreased with the increasing temperature. The viscosity of PAN/SF blend solutions decreased with the increase of the SF component.
