Abstract
The rheological properties of liquid polybutadiene rubber/organo-clay nanocomposite gels were investigated by rheological experiments, focusing on the effects of clay exfoliation and orientation−disorientation as well as polymer−clay interaction and temperature. Both irreversible and reversible viscosity transitions were observed in the temperature range from 26 to 136 °C in steady shear experiments on as-prepared and exfoliated samples. These transitions depend strongly on the end groups, molecular weight of the liquid rubber, and the shear field. The irreversible transition is attributed to the exfoliation of the clay, and the reversible transition can be understood as a shear-induced orientation−disorientation transition of the clay sheets. Polymer−clay interaction is confirmed to be a key controlling factor of the orientation−disorientation transition, whereas the shear field plays a critical role to induce such a transition. To our knowledge, this is the first rheological observation of the in-situ exfoliation process and the shear-induced orientation−disorientation transition of layered silicate in polymer/organo-clay nanocomposites. A tentative model was suggested on the basis of the clay exfoliation and orientation−disorientation transition, and the model is used to explain the observed unique rheological behavior.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
