The rheology of hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC)—acetic acid solutions was investigated by using a cone‐and‐plate rheometer and a capillary rheometer, for polymer concentrations ranging from 10 to 80%. Isotropic solutions exhibit a Newtonian plateau followed at higher shear rates by a pseudoplastic zone. The apparent viscosity varies asC5.2if concentrationCis less than 27% and asC13for 27% <C< 30%. A biphasic interval (isotropic and cholesteric phases) exists between 30 and 35%. A maximum in viscosity is observed atC= 30%, the height of the viscosity peak being a decreasing function of shear rate. Anisotropic solutions are strongly viscoelastic. Both isotropic and anisotropic solutions give results (apparent viscosity, first normal‐stress difference, relaxation time, etc.) which are not in good agreement with Doi's theory. This is understandable since the HPC chain cannot be modeled by a rigid rod. Upon heating, anisotropic HPC—acetic acid solutions undergo an anisotropic to isotropic phase transition which is easily detected by a maximum in the temperature dependence of the first normal‐stress difference and of the apparent viscosity.
