AB - Whereas elastohydrodynamic (EHD) film thicknesses for simple base stocks can be predicted with some confidence from their bulk properties this is not so for polymer-containing fluids. The behaviour of such fluids in an EHD contact is extremely complex and can include elements of shear thinning, viscoelasticity and boundary properties. In this paper polymer solution behaviour in a concentrated contact has been investigated through detailed EHD film thickness measurements. A series of model polymers; polyisoprenes in the molecular weight range 27-86,000, have been studied in two different basestocks, the intention being to examine the effect of base stock rheology and solvation properties on polymer behaviour. © 1994, Elsevier Science B.V.
