Study Notes
Rheology (Pharmaceutics-I)
- Rheology is derived from the Greek words "rheo" (to flow) and "logos" (science)
- It's the study of flow of fluids under applied stress (deformation forces)
- Some materials flow in familiar normal ways, while others have complex and unusual flows (honey, mayonnaise, peanut butter)
- All materials range on a scale from solid to liquid
- Liquids are viscous; solids are elastic
- Most materials are viscoelastic
- Elasticity is the tendency of solid materials to return to their original shape after forces are applied (it will return to its initial shape and size)
- Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. (Fluids with higher viscosity resist motion; Fluids with low viscosity flow easily)
- Viscoelasticity is the property of materials that exhibit both viscous and elastic characteristics when undergoing deformation
- Viscometry studies ideally viscous fluids, and with limitations, viscoelastic liquids
Rheological Systems
- Newtonian systems: Fluids whose viscosity is constant regardless of the shear rate
- Examples: water, oil, salad oil. The shear stress is directly proportional to the shear rate
- Non-Newtonian systems: Fluids whose viscosity changes with the shear rate
- Plastic systems: Requires a yield value before flow begins, examples include toothpaste
- Pseudoplastic systems (shear thinning): Viscosity decreases with increasing shear rates, examples include ketchup, paint, blood, nail polish
- Dilatant systems (shear thickening): Viscosity increases with increasing shear rates, examples include oobleck (a mixture of cornstarch and water), quick sand.
Rheogram
- A plot of shear rate (G) versus shear stress (F)
- It displays the rheological behavior of a material
- Newtonian systems yield a straight-line rheogram
Thixotropy
- A time-dependent process
- Viscosity decreases with time under constant shear (a break down of structure) and recovers when the stress is removed
- It is applied only to shear-thinning systems
Rheopexy
- A time-dependent process where viscosity increases with time under constant shear
- The system exists in a gel state at equilibrium, unlike antithixotropic substances that exist in a sol form. Magnesia magma and clay suspensions may exhibit negative rheopexy, similar to negative thixotropy
Measurement of Thixotropy
- Two approaches are used for plastic (Bingham) systems
- Structural breakdown is measured at a constant rate of shear (time is varied)
- Structural breakdown is measured due to increasing shear rate (shear rate is varied)
Types of Viscometers
- Single-point viscometers:
- Capillary viscometer: Measures the time it takes for liquid to flow through a capillary tube. Useful for low-viscosity liquids
- Falling sphere viscometer: Measures the rate at which a sphere falls through a liquid. Useful for a range of viscosities
- Multi-point viscometers:
- Cup and bob viscometer: Measures the torque required to rotate a bob in a cup filled with the sample
- Cone and plate viscometer: Measures the torque required to rotate a cone over a plate filled with the sample
Viscosity
- Viscosity is a measure of fluid's resistance to flow
- Viscosity is affected by many components including temperature, molecular weight, molar volume, activation energy etc
- Viscosity is the reciprocal of fluidity
Other
- Temperature dependence: A fluid's viscosity is highly influenced by temperature
- Applications: Rheology plays a critical role in quality control, manufacturing, and many everyday applications like mixing, drug delivery and even oil drilling.
- Interesting Fact: The Pitch Drop Experiment, which has been running since 1927
