Notes:
The rheological behavior of multilayer polyjeric structures has been investigated Measurements of the bulk viscoelastic properties via small-amplitude oscilatory rheometry indicated that the shear viscosity is independent of both the numbe of layers (83 vs. 165) and the composition (30/70, 50/50, and 70/30 PC/PMMA by weight) within the limits of the data obtained. It is also apparent tha tthe shear viscosity is influenced strongly by the skin layer material. In additon, a model has been developed tha tcan be used to proedict the shear viscosity and shear stress ofa multilayer structure experiencing shear flow. The model predicts tha thte shear viscosity of a multilayer structure should be independent of the number of layers and strongly dependent on the material in the skin layer. These predictions are in agreement with experimental data.
