CMC Solutions: Shear-Thinning Properties by Santiago Lopez is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes a study that investigated the rheological properties of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) solutions at various concentrations. The authors found that above a critical shear rate, CMC solutions between 0.2-7% exhibited shear-thinning behavior that could be described by the Cross model. Two critical CMC concentrations were identified: c*, above which solutions transitioned to semidilute networks, and c**, above which they behaved as viscoelastic materials. A variety of experimental
