Study Notes

Rheology

Rheology is the science of deformation and flow.
Viscometry testing measures a fluid's resistance to flow.
Rheological measurements describe flow behavior of liquids and semi-solids.
Insights into viscosity, elasticity, and viscoelasticity help understand material structure.
Quality control involves assessing physical stability, consistency, compatibility, and bioavailability of materials.
Rheology is also used to study flow behavior in various products.

Quality Control

Physical stability and consistency are vital quality control aspects.
Patient compatibility and drug bioavailability are also important.
Variations in these properties can indicate contamination or poor mixing.
Adhesive performance is a key quality control factor for transdermal patches.
Process optimization involves understanding how materials behave under stress and strain, and selecting suitable equipment.

Product Development

Optimizing flow, spreading, and firmness are key product development goals.
Predicting material behavior under different conditions (temperature, pressure) is essential.
Research and development explore materials' molecular structure, interactions, and new materials.

Newtonian Flow

Newtonian fluids have constant viscosity regardless of applied shear stress.
Resistance to flow doesn't change with speed or force of flow.
Shear stress vs shear rate graph is linear.
Gradient in the graph equals viscosity.
Equipment for measuring Newtonian flow includes capillary viscometers and falling sphere viscometers.
Examples of Newtonian fluids include water, petrol, glycerol, and hydrogen gas.

Non-Newtonian Flow

Non-Newtonian fluids have viscosity that changes based on shear stress or strain rate.
Shear-thinning fluids (e.g., cream) exhibit decreased viscosity with increasing shear rate.
Shear-thickening fluids (e.g., concentrated suspensions) exhibit increased viscosity with increasing shear rate.
Thixotropic fluids (e.g., bentonite, ketchup) exhibit time-dependent shear thinning behavior.
Bingham flow has a yield stress before flowing like a Newtonian fluid.
Non-Newtonian systems are also used across many products.

Viscoelasticity in Products

Many materials exhibit viscoelasticity, behaving like viscous liquids in some processes and like elastic solids in others.
During storage, the material needs to behave like a solid to prevent sedimentation.
During application, it needs to behave like a fluid to flow smoothly (e.g., paints, creams, etc.).

Oscillation Principles

Phase angle is a measure of elasticity and viscosity in materials.
A higher phase angle indicates greater elasticity.
A lower phase angle indicates greater viscosity.
Purely elastic materials show stress and strain in phase.
Purely viscous materials have stress and strain 90° out of phase.

Parameters in Oscillation

Complex modulus and loss modulus relate to liquid- or solid-like characteristics of a sample.
Dynamic viscosity is related to shear viscosity.
Rheological behavior of cosmetic ingredients and finished products can be tested by rotational rheometers.
Test modes include viscometry (shear), oscillation, creep, and recovery.
Models such as the "wet sponge model" describe viscoelastic behaviors.

Oscillation Measurement Types

Amplitude, frequency, and temperature sweeps are used to examine material properties under oscillation parameters.
Unique fingerprints from amplitude sweeps reveal relative process time behavior.
Creep tests apply constant stress over time to monitor resulting strains.
Measuring time(t) is an important factor.
