Polyelectrolytes and neutral polymers could span different regimes due to their _____
conformation

the screening of the electrostatic interactions on the chain and therefore the chain is free to assume a coil like shape
refers to the capacity of a liquid to display both viscous and elastic properties
viscoelasticity
Why do polymer solutions show shear thinning?
- low values of shear rate, Flow fluid does not deform random coil due to elastic entropy
- when molecular conformation of the random coil is constant the drag exerted the solution is constant
- above a certain shear rate, the macromolecule is deformed
- this causes a reduction in drag exerted by the liquid
- the more the shear rate increases the more the polymer deforms thus causing a continuous reduction of the drag

the difference between the stress along the shear gradient direction and that along the vorticity direction
