Solution properties of xanthan. Light scattering and viscometry on dilute and moderately concentrated solutions

Elastic and quasi-elastic light-scattering, viscometric and rheological studies are given for solutions of the microbial polysaccharide Xanthomonas campestris (xanthan) in aqueous 0.62N NaCl for polymer concentrations from 0.03 to 2.2 g kg −1. The observed negative ∂ ln[η] ∂ ln T is interpreted as a...

Zusammenfassung:Elastic and quasi-elastic light-scattering, viscometric and rheological studies are given for solutions of the microbial polysaccharide Xanthomonas campestris (xanthan) in aqueous 0.62N NaCl for polymer concentrations from 0.03 to 2.2 g kg −1. The observed negative ∂ ln[η] ∂ ln T is interpreted as a decrease of the persistence length with increasing T. The behaviour in moderately concentrated solutions (2
