[0004] The test method A is to measure the apparent viscosity of the fluid. The disadvantage is that the test method A measures the apparent viscosity of the fluid at a single fixed speed, rather than the Newtonian fluid in the low shear, medium shear and high shear regions. The practical application significance of the characterization is different. The low-shear (quiescent state) region represents the storage performance of the fluid, the medium-shear region represents the stirring performance of the fluid, and the high-shear region represents the actual use performance of the fluid ( Such as the printing properties of pastes or the roll coating / spray coating properties of coatings), so test method A cannot fully characterize the rheological properties of non-Newtonian fluids
[0006] 1. TI index refers to the ratio of the viscosity of the fluid in the steady state at a shear rate that differs by 10 times. In the actual application of fluids, such as coatings, the shear rate is greater than 10 when spraying. 4 S -1 , the shear speed range is 10 when brushing / rolling 3 S -1 ~10 4 S -1 , while the leveling / sagging shear rate range is 10 -3 S -1 ~10 0 S -1 , so the shear rate with a difference of 10 times cannot be better used to characterize the thixotropic properties of the fluid;
[0007] 2. The TI index tests the viscosity from low shear to high shear fluid steady state, and does not test the fluid viscosity when returning from high shear rate to low shear rate. In the actual application of fluid, such as conductive paste After the material is screen-printed onto the battery sheet, the structure of the slurry will recover instantaneously, and it is necessary to provide test data of the viscosity of the slurry after printing when the viscosity returns to the initial low shear rate;
[0008] 3. The test method does not involve the test of the recovery time of the fluid structure when changing from high shear rate to low shear rate. In the actual application of fluid, for example, after the conductive paste is screen-printed on the cell, it is necessary to provide its structure instantaneous Response time, in order to improve the production efficiency into the next process
[0009] In summary, the current testing methods have obvious defects, and it is very important to find an accurate and comprehensive method to characterize the rheological properties of slurry

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the photovoltaic industry, in particular to a method for testing the rheological properties of conductive paste. Background technique [0002] The conductive paste used in the photovoltaic industry is a fluid whose viscosity coefficient cannot remain constant when the shear rate changes. Measuring the rheological properties of the fluid mainly refers to measuring the viscosity and thixotropy of the fluid. Viscosity is a physical property of a fluid, which is used to measure the viscosity of the fluid. It is a physical parameter used in rheology to describe the resistance to shear-induced deformation; The rheological phenomenon, which characterizes the time-dependent properties of fluids, is a very important characteristic of coatings, food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and other important industrial products. [0003] At present, the rheological properties of the slurry are tested using the ASTM D2196 test standard, which includ...
