Abstract
When suspensions are exposed to shear forces, the particles may form ordered structures depending on their shapes, concentrations, and the material. For some processes, e.g., for wet-film coating, it is important to know how fast these structures form in shear fields and for how long the structures persist when the shear is relaxed. To obtain information on the particle structure formation and the decay time, the effective viscosity of nematic suspensions of Na-hectorite nanosheets was investigated by rheology employing a cone-plate measurement geometry. The necessary time for the formation of textured nematic films could be deduced by carrying out effective viscosity measurements at constant time steps. Information could also be obtained on the lifetime of the platelet textures when shear is relaxed. All this information was employed to identify geometrical requirements for slot dies to produce barrier liners with nanosheet layers oriented parallel to PET substrates. Thereby, we obtained green and simple coatings in line with state-of-the-art high-performance materials such as metalized plastic foils in terms of oxygen barrier properties.
