Assignment: For the PDMS polymer in the lab Measure and report on the true steady shear viscosity at room temperature and other assigned temperatures, as a function of shear rate, as measured with the torsional coneplate rheometer eport and at room temperature and other assigned temperatures. You must determine the appropriate strains to stay in the linear-viscoelastic regime Check to see if the Cox-Merz rule holds for PDMS.
