Time Domain NMR (Relaxometry)

Rheology provides information about mechanical properties by viscosity, energy

storage and energy loss modulus determination.

MR Microscopy provides information at the mechanical length scale by

spatially and temporally resolved velocity maps and shear rate maps.

NMR spectroscopy provides information at the molecular length scale by spatially and

temporally resolved NMR spectra, relaxation times and diffusion constants.

Flow Observations of Granular Material

Granular material is defined as a collection of discrete macroscopic particles.

Natural examples include sand, soil and snow.

Numerous industrial processes involve granular material with examples from

agriculture (e.g. rice, sugar and seeds) to pharmaceutical production.

Depending on the properties of the individual particles, overall volume

concentration and applied external stimuli, granular materials can

behave as either a solid, liquid or gas.

NMR is a non-invasive technique for studying materials under shear.

The RheoNMR hardware is well suited for these studies.

The shear devices rheo cells can be tailored to the diameters of particles and

the desired number of grains spanning the fluid domain in SB / WB and SWB

magnets.

Pulse program for granular flow experiments: Double slice selection 1D imaging

sequence with velocity encoding.

The broadband (hard) p pulse in the PGSE portion allowed short observation times D

over which fewer particle interactions would occur. The encoding time was fixed at

1 ms. For each system multiple experiments were conducted as a function of the

observation time D varied between 1.8 ms to 7 ms.

Top: Axial MRI data for the four granular material systems;

(left to right) lobelia seeds, petunia seeds, vitamin E capsules and mustard seeds.

All images were 60mm by 60mm (256 points by 256 points).

Bottom: Velocity profiles for the respective granular system. In each experiment the motor

was rotated such that the tangential wall speed was 17.1 mm/s;

All velocity data were acquired with an encoding time D = 5 ms.

The vertical dashed lines indicate the boundaries of the shear cell while the horizontal

dashed line indicates the velocity of the moving wall.

RheoNMR

Spatially resolved velocity measurements could be used to describe the

variance in particle velocities.

By observing the variance of velocity as a function of observation time D it would be

possible to estimate the mean collision time;

At observation times less than the mean collision time the variance of velocity is

constant.

These mean collision times relate to the rheology and viscosity of the granular

material and would be of great use for refining theoretical descriptions of granular flow.

NOTE: This type experiment and interpretation of granular flow behavior at different D

is somehow similar to restricted diffusion experiments using short and long diffusion

times D.

2H as a “tracer” for local order in systems under shear

2H as a “tracer” for local order in flowing systems

The spin 1 deuteron quadrupole moment interacts (of D2O or other deuterated solvents)

with the electric field gradients caused by the surrounding molecules (micelles, wormlike

surfactants) causing 2H spectral splitting depending on the local order in systems.

This can be used to probe the type and degree of ordered systems under shear by 2H

spectroscopy.

1. Mix triethylene glycol mono-n-decyl ether C10E3 in

9:1 D2O:H2O.

2. Load sample in Couette cell and shear it at 42o C

and a shear rate of 10 s-1 for approximately one

hour to establish the planar lamella phase (as

identified by 2H spectrum).

3. Once the La structure is established stop the motor

and set the temperature to 25o C where the sample

equilibrates for one and a half hours.

4. Acquiring data at a constant shear rate of 10 s-1

5. NMR data was acquired. a total of 400 NMR

experiments were run with a complete experiment

taking approximately 14 s (total experiment time

approximately 95 min)

Conclusions

Spatially resolved velocity maps provide straight forward

identification of wall slip and information about granular flow

Spatially resolved velocity maps visualize changes in the shear

behavior and identifies shear bands

Spectroscopy under shear provides reaction monitoring in situ

under shear conditions

Deuterium spectroscopy under shear provides information about

local ordered or disordered structures on the molecular level

The combination of the NMR parameters with the traditional

rheology parameters enables a better characterization and control of

matter under flow and deformation
