By chemically modifying starch in the solid phase, samples of the sodium carboxymethyl starch (Na-CMS) with degrees of substitution (DS) ranging from 0.09 to 0.95 were obtained.The viscosity of both dilute and concentrated aqueous Na-CMS solutions was analyzed using capillary and rotational viscometry.It has been shown that diluted Na-CMS solutions exhibit properties characteristic of polyelectrolytes.The rheological properties were investigated by varying the shear rate across a broad temperature range.The results indicate that concentrated Na-CMS solutions exhibit non-Newtonian behavior at all studied temperatures.The dynamic viscosity of Na-CMS solutions decreases with increasing DS, suggesting a reduction in intermolecular interactions.An increase in temperature also leads to a marked decrease in the dynamic viscosity of Na-CMS solutions.For example, for Na-CMS solutions with DS=0.74, increasing the temperature from 25 to 55 °C leads to a decrease in viscosity from 10.3 to 5.1 Pas.The average value of the activation energy of the viscous flow of Na-CMS solutions was determined, which is equal to 18.7 kJ/mol, indicating the presence of hydrogen bonds between polymer macromolecules.
