The
rotation of Ni nanorods, dispersed in dilute and semidilute
poly(ethylene oxide) solutions, is investigated. Ni nanorods with
similar diameter but different lengths are synthesized using the anodic
aluminum oxide template method and characterized by transmission electron
microscopy and static magnetic field-dependent optical transmission
(SFOT) of linearly polarized light. The rotational motion of nanorods,
determined by oscillating magnetic field-dependent optical transmission
(OFOT) measurements, is analyzed to retrieve the local dynamic modulus
of the polymer solution. The effect of probe size relative to intrinsic
length scales of the polymer solution is systematically investigated
by variation of the nanorod size, polymer molar mass, and concentration.
A significant decrease in the zero-shear rate viscosity is observed
in the semidilute entangled regime, which depends on the hydrodynamic
length of the nanorods, Lh, and polymer
radius of gyration, Rg, but not on PEO
concentration. The relative viscosity can be approximated by η0OFOT/η0macro = exp ( – 5.6Rg/Lh). The macroscopic dynamic
modulus of the entangled polymer solutions is measured by small-amplitude
oscillatory shear. The local dynamic modulus, obtained from nanorod
oscillation measurements, exhibits systematic changes with decreasing
size of the probe particles, which indicate entanglement reduction
as the physical origin of the size effect in this particular particle/polymer
system.
