polymer fluids
[ˈpɒlɪmər ˈfluːɪdz]
nounpl: polymer fluids
fluidos poliméricos
1. Liquids containing dissolved or suspended polymer molecules that exhibit non-Newtonian flow behavior, with viscosity that changes under stress or shear rate
Polymer fluids are commonly used in industrial applications such as lubrication, hydraulics, and enhanced oil recovery.
Fluidos poliméricos são comumente utilizados em aplicações industriais como lubrificação, hidráulica e recuperação aprimorada de petróleo.
2. Viscoelastic liquids that exhibit both viscous and elastic properties due to the presence of long-chain macromolecules
The polymer fluids in this coating system provide superior flow and leveling characteristics.
Os fluidos poliméricos neste sistema de revestimento proporcionam características superiores de escoamento e nivelamento.
Polymer fluids are primarily discussed in technical and scientific contexts in both Brazil and the USA, particularly in petrochemical industries, academic research, and manufacturing. Brazil's significant oil and chemical industries make this terminology particularly relevant in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro industrial sectors. In the USA, this term is standard in chemical engineering and materials science disciplines.
