Abstract

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) was used to determine the T2 NMR relaxation times of silicone oils. T2 characterizes the molecular mobility of fluids. The T2 times, furthermore, correlate with both the zero-shear-rate viscosity and the molecular weight of the corresponding silicone oil. Thus NMR provides the possibility of determining simultaneously the zero-shear-rate viscosity and the molecular weight of silicone oils by means of T2 experiments.
