In this work, the influence of the concentration on the flow behaviour, dynamic viscoelastic and creep properties of diutan gum in aqueous solution was investigated. Diutan gum is a biopolymer which belongs to the sphingans group. To know its rheological properties and its microstructure as a function of the concentration is directly related to the current and future applications of this biological polymer. Mechanical spectra showed a crossover point between G′ and G″ which changed as a function of diutan gum concentration. A master curve for the frequency dependence on the η* was obtained. The creep compliance results made it possible to deduce the yield stress value and they were fitted to Burgers model. A shear-thinning behaviour was exhibited by diutan gum aqueous solutions, which was fitted to the Carreau-Yasuda model. Higher G′ G″ τ0 and η0 values and lower ωc, Je 0, γ̇c and n values were obtained by increasing the gum concentration, it is being possible to modulate the viscoelasticity, viscosity and shear resistance as a function of concentration. A more complex structure with stronger entanglements between macromolecules of diutan was obtained when the concentration of diutan increases. |
