We conducted linear and non-liner rheological measurements and also FTIR measurement under a shear flow for hydrogen(H) bonding polymer systems in the melts : random copolymer of vinly acetate and vinyl alcohol, P(VAc-VOH). Stress growth function of this system showed the shear thinning behavior successively to the stress overshoot. This result suggests that H-bonding structure break up under steady shear flow. However, RHEO-ATR-FTIR measurements on the same sample revealed that the number of hydrogen bonds did not change by applying flow fields. This result suggested two possibilities : small change in the number of H-bonds and/ or the structural change from inter-to intra-molecular H-bonds will be responsible for the shear thinning behavior.
